Documents are difficult to edit.

Using Handoff documents frequently for site notes, I've found the document editor lacks basic editing capabilities that are standard on any other document platform. Specific gaps: 1) No image rotation — when auto-generated documents insert photos taken in non-standard orientations, there's no way to correct them. 2) Images auto-insert at too small a size to be useful for field documentation. The real problem here is that there difficult to resize on a touch screen, I have to remember to do these edits when I get home. This means I can’t just make a document on site and show it to other people the same day. 3) No version history or document recovery. If I need to revert anything, I can’t. 4) I can’t easily move documents to different jobs if I create them under the wrong job. 5) I can’t easily adjust a document to accommodate printing. If I need to print a document, and I want to add a few blank lines to make the next section start on the next page, I can’t do that.

I've created 29 documents across 5 projects in 41 days and have needed to edit nearly every one. The document generator itself is excellent — the editing experience needs to match that quality.
