The Final Review bar is expanded to show the case number, type of filing, party filer (if necessary), uploaded documents, requested relief (if necessary), service information, and docket text.

Expand the section where the error appears and use the editing functions to make the correction. In the example below the Upload Documents section is open to show that an uploaded document can be removed and replaced.

If review of this screen reveals an error, click the Edit hyperlink next to the Submit button at the bottom left of the screen. The previous screen will re-open.
