## Problematic Typical Takeoff Workflow

User is taking off scope for Zones 1--8.

User takes off all similar devices in Zone 1,
and continues takeoff through Zone 04,
before realizing that some scope for Zone 1
is typical of Zones 1--8.

User must decide between deleting the redundant takeoff in Zones 2--4
(cluttering and confusing the timeline of the audit trail)
and continuing takeoff as if the scope were not typical
(increasing time of takeoff and reducing flexibility).

The ability to reorder and permanently delete takeoff
would invalidate most concerns here,
however [[accubid|Accubid]]'s solution to typical scope
(named-typicals-as-breakdowns)
is still clunky and unsuitable for large projects.
