| + | If you accept a suggested pack, partially unbox it (i.e. leave one or more lines still boxed), then click on the **Suggest boxes** button again, you might end up with one or more different boxes with the same name because the suggested pack function does not check for any existing boxes using the same name as one it is creating for the pack. This might cause confusion when the contents of the boxes do not match what you expect. For this reason, we recommend you always fully unbox an accepted suggested pack before trying it again. | ||
