How to resubmit after Orlando plan check corrections

After all reviews are complete you get an email to log into ProjectDox; corrections arrive as an Applicant Resubmit task.
In the Applicant Resubmit task, open Review Comments and respond to each unresolved review comment; you can't submit the corrections until every comment has a response.
Upload the revised drawings and documents with exactly the same file names and file types as the originals, so ProjectDox versions them.
Select Resubmit Complete to send the revisions back for review; the cycle repeats until all reviews are approved.

What a good response to Plan Review Comment Report has

General guidance, not the City of Orlando’s own rules. Check its page before you resubmit.

Answer every comment, in the reviewer’s order and numbering, so nothing is missed.
Say plainly what you changed for each comment, or why no change is needed.
Name the sheet and detail where each change is, so the reviewer can find it fast.
Mark changes on the drawings (clouds or deltas are common) and keep sheet numbers the same.
Send the response letter, the revised drawings and any new calculations together.
