Description:
An addendum allows users to make additional notes or corrections to a completed SOAP note. It is important to understand that the addendum feature is only available once the original note has been marked as Completed—it is not visible or usable for notes in Incomplete status.
- The original note cannot be edited once completed; only addendums can be added.
- Users can create multiple addendums if needed, and each one will be listed chronologically.
