To edit an appraisal:

1. Click Services > Find > Appraisal. Enter criteria to search for your appraisal, then select and Edit it. The Edit Appraisal window will appear with the General/Intake Info tab open.
   
   
   Fields and options here are similar to Appraisal Intake with the addition of the following:

   Notified	Date customer notified that appraisal complete
   Picked Up	For picked up appraisals, the date it was picked up

2. Make any desired changes, then click on the Appraisal Details tab to begin completing the appraisal.
   
   
   Fields on the top include
    

   Title	Prints on the top of the appraisal

3. This tab defines what will print. The appraisal is divided into paragraphs. If appraising a single item, each paragraph can describe a component of the item in more detail and, optionally, have a picture associated with it. Or, if appraising multiple items together, each paragraph can represent a different item.
4. Click the Add button at the bottom to create a new paragraph. A new line will appear.
   
    
5. In the top text field enter a heading; this will appear in bold. Beneath that, enter the description. To the right, enter the value for this paragraph. Optionally, use the camera icon to add one or more pictures. The Plus icon allows you to add stone detail; see Appraisal Templates for more information on printing this stone data.
   
    
6. While working on the appraisal, you can click the Preview tab at any time to see a live preview of appraisal. This can be useful to check formatting, especially while working through a large appraisal.
