Complete the exact company-name confirmation

Use the name displayed in the final confirmation before submitting a company action.

The second step of a company management action asks you to type the exact company name. The confirmation stays unavailable when the typed value does not match the displayed name or the acknowledgement is unchecked.

Compare punctuation, spacing, and the company suffix with the name shown in the dialog. Do not substitute a trade name or an abbreviation. The check helps ensure that the selected company is the one you intend to affect.

Read the action warning again before confirming. Leaving your own list, removing the company for the team, restoring it, and permanent deletion have different consequences even though they share the confirmation pattern.

If you notice the wrong company, cancel instead of changing the typed name to make the action proceed. If the confirmation has expired, use Start confirmation again and review the fresh details. Do not alter a company’s legal name just to make a confirmation easier to type. Contact support if a correct current name is still rejected, including the action and visible error without exposing unrelated records.
