Quick Summary

Note: The important part of duplicating sections is to rename the section and subsections to be unique and separate from the original section. For instance, if you copy Bedroom, the renamed section should be something like Bedroom 2. For Subsections, you should rename Bedroom Floors to Bedroom 2 Floors. This helps prevent photos or narrative from duplicating between the subsections when writing the report.
