Before you start

Data, sources, and access to prepare

  • All source sections saved
  • Your original property and financial source files

Prepare these details

  • Close unrelated editing tasks
  • Open the latest source files beside CREBuilder
  • Use a desktop-sized preview
  • Ask a colleague for a second read when your team requires one

Complete the task

  1. 1

    Review factual identity

    Review & Customize > cover and summaries

    Compare the property name, address, transaction, price, and headline facts with your source files.

    Expected result: The identity is consistent across opening pages.

    If this step does not work

    Return to the owning wizard field for any conflict.

  2. 2

    Review calculations

    Review & Customize > financial pages

    Compare one financial page at a time with your rent roll and operating statement.

    Expected result: Totals, periods, units, and calculated metrics reconcile.

    If this step does not work

    Correct inputs in the financial wizard instead of typing over output.

  3. 3

    Review narrative

    Review & Customize > narrative pages

    Read one page as the intended audience.

    Expected result: Claims are specific, supportable, and free of unresolved placeholders.

    If this step does not work

    Edit the narrative source and save it before continuing.

  4. 4

    Review media

    Review & Customize > visual pages

    Inspect every image, map, logo, and plan at normal viewing size.

    Expected result: Media is sharp, relevant, correctly cropped, and correctly attributed.

    If this step does not work

    Replace or remove the source asset when quality is inadequate.

    Review and Customize workspace at the final content and compliance review stage.
    Inspect every visible page for content accuracy, design consistency, permissions, and required compliance language.
  5. 5

    Review contacts and disclosures

    Review & Customize > contact and legal pages

    Compare names and required wording with your current records.

    Expected result: The intended contacts and disclosures are present.

    If this step does not work

    Update Profile, Contacts, or Confidentiality as appropriate.

  6. 6

    Review the page sequence

    Review page strip

    Read the visible page titles from first to last.

    Expected result: The sequence is complete and coherent.

    If this step does not work

    Restore a required hidden page or move an out-of-sequence page.

  7. 7

    Finish on a saved document

    Review & Customize

    Wait for Auto-saved before you download or share.

    Expected result: The document is ready for a fresh PDF.

    If this step does not work

    Repeat any check affected by a later edit.

Troubleshooting and next steps

Edits keep coming in after your proofread.

Likely cause: A teammate may still be editing, or an issue was found late.

  1. Treat the earlier proofread as out of date.
  2. Wait for Auto-saved.
  3. Repeat the checks affected by the change.
The source of an incorrect value is unclear.

Likely cause: The template may reuse structured data across several pages.

  1. Use the page edit action when available.
  2. Search the wizard for the matching field label before altering narrative.

Final verification

  • Facts, narrative, media, and delivery checks are complete
  • Every issue was fixed at its source
  • The page order is correct
  • The footer shows Auto-saved
  • You will download a fresh PDF or recheck the listing next
  • No blocking warning, failed status, or unresolved validation message remains in the completed workflow.
