Maintain an Engagement Disclosure Note Library

One of the common tasks in maintaining a Disclosure checklist in an engagement is creating and maintaining a collection of disclosure notes for the engagement. There are a number of actions you can perform to maintain and update a disclosure note library. Most of these actions are available from a pop-up menu, enabled by right-clicking in the right-hand pane where the disclosure library is displayed. They are also available from the toolbar below the right-hand pane.
Hover your cursor over an icon to see the action.

Disclosure Notes and "Unassigned" Topics

It is possible for a disclosure note's assigned topic to be removed as the result of rolling forward an engagement or updating a checklist to a later version. When this occurs, the disclosure notes assigned to the removed topic are listed under a topic labeled "Unassigned." Resolve this issue by assigning these notes to other related topics or by deleting them from the disclosure note library.
