Options are shown to the customer as a ladder: your Recommended pick first, then the rest priciest to cheapest, with the Minimum last. Most options need no label at all — the price and your description carry them. Only one option should be Recommended.
Save stores your work on the customer portal without notifying anyone. Preview saves, then shows you exactly what the customer will see. Publish locks it in, posts the quote to the RepairShopr ticket, and sets it to Quote Ready so the customer gets their link.
Photos of the device as it came in — pre-existing damage, condition, anything worth a record. These appear to the customer as soon as they upload. Remove one if it shouldn't be there.

Published to the customer portal. Repair Portal Update Published Customer-facing status: Checked In Customer-facing diagnostic summary: Your laptop is running a very outdated version of Windows 10 and is having trouble installing updates and repairing itself. Windows Update has been failing, the built-in repair tool cannot start, and the system cannot create a restore point to undo problems if needed. There are also several outdated or broken startup entries, and both McAfee and Windows Defender are installed at the same time, which can cause software conflicts and slow performance. We did not find confirmation of an active virus, but we recommend a full malware scan, a cleanup, and an upgrade of the operating system. The hardware itself is still good for continued use. Your laptop has an Intel Core i7-8550U processor and 16GB of RAM, we found no errors with the internal components, and no unexpected system crashes were found. The battery, however, is significantly worn down, at about 44% of its original health, and has repeatedly logged critical low-battery events. Customer-facing recommendation: (none) TechSuite report detected: Yes Diagnostic report visible to customer: Yes Customer notified: No
