# Title

The Title section is used to store and manage the legal title documents for each truck. It helps maintain a clear record of ownership, including title numbers, issuing states, and supporting paperwork.

This section appears on the right side of the Truck Details view and is accessible for both active and inactive trucks.

***

### What You Can Do

* Add a new title document
* Edit an existing record
* View issue and purchase dates
* Upload the scanned title file
* Leave internal notes for reference
* Delete if added by mistake

All actions are only available while the truck is active. Inactive trucks are view-only.

***

### When to Use It

You’ll use the Title tab when:

* A truck is newly purchased
* The title is transferred to your company
* You need a central place to store scanned title documents for compliance
* You want to track when and where the title was issued

***

### What the Title Card Shows

Each title record includes:

* Title number
* State of issue
* Purchase date
* Issue date
* Document viewer (if uploaded)
* Note field
* Edit and Delete options

Only one active title should exist per truck. The record is shown in expanded view if it's the latest, and collapsed if older.
