Simplifile Document Editing Tools Tip Sheet
When a document is uploaded into Simplifile, a toolbar is displayed at the top of the document viewer page. These tools can improve the quality of the document image and may help prevent rejections. The toolbar can have a different appearance depending on your computer screen resolution, browser size, and if a recording jurisdiction restricts the use of certain tools.
