The letter generator is the actual function of Expunge Assist. The letter generator asks users information that can be compiled into a declaration letter that can be submitted to a judge as part of the record clearance process.

Users progress through the letter generator sections in this order:

• Initial static informational pages
• Introductory input dynamic pages to capture basic personal information and involvements since conviction
• Conditional involvement input dynamic pages capturing information based on involvement selections
• Final input dynamic pages to capture future goals and reasons for seeking expungement
• Final review and download of the generated personalized letter

The users progress through the pages by entering the required information (if present) and pressing the Next button. The user can navigate backwards in the flow by pressing the Back button. Data entered in previous pages will be retained and viewable during backwards navigation in the same session. The flow always follows the same sequence, but users only visit the Involvement Sub-Pages they select in the Involvement Selection page.

On pages that collect text input from the user, the letter generator tool will take the input text and format it into a paragraph for the letter. After each of these pages, the user will be prompted to review and optionally edit the paragraph before continuing. The user has the ability to review and edit all generated paragraphs at the end of the flow.

• Backward navigation with the Back button on the page retains all entered data throughout the flow
• Browser navigation (refresh, back, etc.) will cause data loss
• Data is not retained once the browser session is closed

These pages appear for all users in this sequence to provide essential guidance before beginning the letter generation process.

Upon completion, they navigate to the next selected involvement category or to the "Final Information" pages if all involvement options have been completed.
