Common questions

Before you start

Are my application drafts uploaded?

No. Current counters process text in the browser and do not require a ToolOrbit account.

Are the application limits always current?

ToolOrbit cites current official guidance where available, but you should confirm the final count and rules inside the official application before submitting.
