One new feature of note this year: Some fields now are pre-populated with previous year data. This applies primarily to fields where there are seldom changes (e.g., building size, library street address, etc.). If the information for those fields are different, just click in the box to change it. Otherwise, you can take advantage of this time-saving feature and move on to subsequent questions!
