| 89 | +[!NOTE] When you edit a Distribution -- if is was in the past, you will see a warning to that effect -- because we assumed that you wouldn't normally need to change the Distribution once it had been put together! Some banks will add things when the Partners come to pick up the distributions, based on additional needs and/or supply opportunities. |
| 90 | +However, We will give you a stern warning if there has been an Audit since the Distribution was entered, and you may be prevented from changing some Distribution information (such as the storage location), because we just don't know how to handle some of those cases. |

81 | 104 | Please note that your logo (also configurable on the [Organization](getting_started_customization.md#logo) ) is included on this printout -- we strongly advice keeping it fairly small, as a large logo will just be resized anyway, and will potentially break this function.

83 | 106 | ## Reclaiming a Distribution
|
84 | 107 | What do you do if, for some reason, the Distribution that was entered was not picked up? You can reclaim it, adding the items back into your inventory.
|
85 |
| -To do this, click "Reclaim" beside the Distribution in question. |
86 |
| -NOTE: You can not reverse a reclaim. If you reclaim by accident, you will have to re-enter the Distribution. |
| 108 | +To do this, click "Reclaim" beside the Distribution in question, and cliock "Ok" in the confirmation screen that appears. |

| 110 | +[!WARN] You can not reverse a reclaim. If you reclaim by accident, you will have to re-enter the Distribution. If that happens, you should be able to grab the Item quantities from the [History Report](reports_history.md), but we don't retain the rest of the information. |
