## TL;DR
Fix this in PandaDoc by acting on the exact problem first: in PandaDoc, open the NDA template in the editor, find the quote or pricing block that was copied in with a reused template, remove that block from the NDA template only, save a new template version, and generate one document to confirm no quote content appears. Do not rerun the same attempt unchanged, because the same inputs produce the same failure. Prove the fix on one template or pricing block first, then rerun the full scope and reconcile the results.

PandaDoc approval error NDA template includes quote block by mistake
```

## Use this when
- The operation in PandaDoc fails with this exact problem: PandaDoc approval error NDA template includes quote block by mistake.
- The same failure repeats on retry with unchanged inputs.
- Work on an NDA send or template reuse is blocked until this is resolved.

## Not for this skill when
- The notice is a platform outage from the vendor. Resolve that first, then return here if this problem remains.
- The operation completes and you only disagree with a clause wording or a legal judgement. That is a legal owner decision, not this failure.

## Steps
1. Reproduce the failure using one template or pricing block in PandaDoc and record the full problem text plus the record, signer or run involved. Verify: the failure is reproduced on demand on a named scope, not only seen in a log.
2. Apply the specific fix for this problem: in PandaDoc, open the NDA template in the editor, find the quote or pricing block that was copied in with a reused template, remove that block from the NDA template only, save a new template version, and generate one document to confirm no quote content appears. Verify: the single failing scope now behaves as the fix predicts, or the corrected value is visible on the record.
3. Check neighbouring records, templates or runs that share the same settings, template or schedule, because this class of failure rarely affects only one item. Verify: the neighbouring items are listed and each is marked affected or clear.
4. Rerun the original operation in PandaDoc on the previously failing scope, watching for the same problem rather than assuming success from a quiet log. Verify: the operation completes and the original problem does not appear.
5. Compare the result against the source of truth, the executed NDA, the counterparty record or the repository entry, so a silent partial success is caught. Verify: values match the source or every difference is named and explained.
6. Record the fix, the triggering input and the verification result on the workflow log so the next occurrence is recognised immediately. Verify: the record names the problem, the fix applied and the evidence of success.

## Variant phrasings

### PandaDoc approval error NDA template includes quote block by mistake
The verbatim form searchers paste from the console, report or run log. Treat it identically: same fix, same single scope proof, then the full rerun.

### How to fix - PandaDoc approval error NDA template includes quote block by mistake
The how to phrasing for the same failure in PandaDoc. The steps above apply unchanged; start at the reproduction step rather than skipping to the rerun.

### PandaDoc troubleshooting for this failure
The symptom first phrasing used when the console hides the full problem. Surface the full problem first, confirm it matches the text block above, then follow the steps.

## Why it happens
Cloned templates carry every block from their source, so an NDA template cloned from a proposal or quote template keeps the pricing block, and approval rules that scan content flag or ship it with the NDA.

## Edge cases
- The record, template or assignment changed after the failing run started. Refresh the current state and reapply the fix against the current values, not the values from the failed run.
- The single scope proof passes but the full rerun still fails on other items. Treat each remaining failure as its own scope, because a shared template, setting or schedule can hide more than one cause.
- The source systems disagree on the correct value. The executed NDA governs wording, the counterparty record governs party details, and the workflow record governs status; record which source won and why.

Compatibility: PandaDoc at current versions, plus the NDA template, repository or messaging tool the query names; no extra tooling beyond access to the source records needed to verify results.
