Frequently Asked Questions

  • I accidentally deleted a section or item. Can I undelete it?

    • Yes! Check out this article on how to undelete a section or item.

  • Can I undelete a comment?

    • Unfortunately, there is not a way to undelete a comment in the web editor. You can undelete comments via the app with the steps in this article.

  • Why don't I see the option to delete on my section/item/comment?

    • If you're using a specialized PDF output form like a Florida form or a TREC form, the delete option or trash can icon will not appear. This is because those forms are heavily coded to ensure the proper PDF output. Deleting anything from those forms will break the output and make the report unreadable for your client.

  • Why can't I delete a section/item on my report?

    • Are you using a special form? Due to the specialized output for state specific forms they are locked from editing like deletion, as it can break the output. Feel free to reach out to the support team on the chat bubble for assistance with this!
