Flag large differences
Currently, no casting is performed on 'large' differences. It would be good to have these flagged to show DS considered them but the difference was over a certain threshold, or allow the user to set the threshold (including no limit).

Check mathematical accuracy of changes in assets/liabilities on the cash flow statement

Recognize Different Formats of Note Number (ie. B1-1) for FSS IC checks
The note numbers are driven by how Government Treasury (sets the financial reporting requirements for our state entities) has set up their example statements. Sometimes the note numbers are formatted this way (B1-1, B1-2, B1-3, etc) and currently when doing IC test, it does not provide any suggestions. It would be helpful if DataSnipper algorithm can detect these note numbers for IC checks and provide suggestions.

Auto populated comments aren't deleted if the red tickmark changed to blue tickmark
Comment regarding IC red to blue where the comment must be manually removed regarding “internal inconsistency noted”. It would be nice if it could be automatically deleted if the tickmark color changed to blue.

When automatic suggestion for internal consitency are not given (which is the case in 99%) a user should manually do the ticking. In FSS in DS version 6 the user first needs to click on the number, then on the reference and then on the tickmark. This is one click more than in version 5.
It would be better if a user could click on the number in the balance sheet and P&L and immediatly can click on the reference and makes the tickmark. And the tickmarking is done automaticaly when there is only one reference.

Setting up an undo button
It has happened to me several times that I have accidentally clicked on "Remove Suggestion", although I actually only wanted to change or remove a tick mark. I have not yet found a way to restore a suggestion other than by completely reinstalling it. An undo button would be helpful here, or the implementation of a keyboard shortcut such as Ctrl+Z. Ultimately, this applies to all entries in the tool, not just the suggestions.

Edit Numbers within the FSS
Problem: Users often need to edit numbers within the FS once issues or errors are detected, currently that requires them to import and export the document which is time consuming.
Proposed Solution: Have the option to update the values directly within the FSS and mabye have it suggested based on the value within the calculator.

Password protection
V6
I have mentioned this to my account manager but we need to have some form of password protection on Version 6 FSS projects.
We audit firms which hit different criteria and need to lock down audit files. The FSS component being changed now will make it hard to control as its not longer associated to the workbook (which was in a locked audit file).
We wont be using v6 until something like this is enabled unfortunately.

Would it be possible to streamline “saving” changes to the original FSS file with the push of a button and eliminate the need to manually export and import the FSS project during each layer of review?

FSS Calculator for documentation
Within the calculator in V6 FSS, I want to be able to use the calculator to sum up numbers and then apply a tickmark based on that summation, so that when I hand off to my reviewer, the workbook has tickmarks that are indicative of the due diligence performed by me, the preparer.
For example, in tables with amounts in columns A - E, where E contains the total, FSS may incorrectly identify a column C as a summation of A+B, and suggest incorrect TMs all the way down that column. I would want (1) to remove the suggestions from…

Error limits
Where FSS identifies an error (could be due to OCR issues or changes in presentation so there is now minor rounding differences or with / without brackets) - can FSS allow a toggle to showcase these 'close' errors for quick investigation (similar to rounding in MA).

Repetitive Header and Footer Modifications in Version Comparison
I'd like to propose the inclusion of a feature that allows users to filter out updates made to the header and footer sections when performing a version comparison.
For instance, consider a scenario where a document's footer displays its version, such as "V1" or "V2." When comparing two documents, if the updated document contains modifications in both the main body of the document and a version change in the footer from "V1" to "V2," the version comparison currently detects and highlights all footer changes. It would be highly beneficial if we could introduce a feature that isolates alterations in the…

FSS page numbers
Is there a way to identify the page number on the page and differentiate it from the page number of the document, when using internal consistency function in FSS? For ex: the face of the financials (left) is on pg 32 per the page and 39 per the document. The corresponding FN tie out (right) is on page 72 per the page and 79 per the document. Could help with IC when FN # are not embedded on the face.

Version Compare
Version compare marks change in font and formatting as a change. It would be great to have the option to select if change in font should be ignored.
