What to do before and after this step
Most product help actions are easier when the right context is already in place. Before taking the step on this page, make sure the related case, facts, and people are clear. After finishing it, the next move is usually another workflow step such as checking documents, assigning follow-up, or reviewing a draft.
- Use the help article while working inside a real case or workflow
- Keep the surrounding facts, dates, and documents organized first
