Once the Work Section Support icon has been selected, the Contact Supplier window will display.

*Note that the support level, replace, edit and comment, options vary depending on what level or support the supplier decides to provide. If they do not offer Work Section Support you can still contact them with the Product Info button (a).

You may then have the following options:

REPLACE - The Supplier will write a replacement Work Section based on the information you supply. You will be able to preview the suppliers suggestions and then import the full work section into your project. You can then continue editing as per usual.

EDIT - The Supplier will edit a copy of your work section. You can view the returned information and choose to include or exclude the content on a clause by clause basis.

COMMENT - The Supplier will add comments to clauses of your work section. They cannot edit any of the content, but can make comments on the content. You will be able to review their comments then make any changes you want to make with the regular edit function.

Choose which level of support you'd like by selecting the circle icon.
