Whether you choose to keep the same Lease Name or change it, tap 'Save' and 'Continue' to proceed.

Select an existing folder or tap the new folder icon in the lower right corner.

If you are overwriting the previous Lease with same Lease Name and in the same folder, you will be asked to confirm to 'Overwrite' the existing lease.

Once you save the report to your desired folder, you will be returned to the folder view in 'Edit Existing Lease' where you can select to edit another lease. Once completed, tap the 'Back' button in the upper left corner to return to the main menu where you can enter another lease, edit the lease, or create the Tenant or Landlord report.
