The optional templates have tables that request similar information; is it okay to reference another table rather than repeat whole paragraphs or to not use these tables?

Though you are free to edit the optional tables as you see fit, please note that they relate directly to elements that are scored under our evaluation criteria. While the use of these tables does not guarantee a high score, they can help applicants to provide all the information that is ultimately considered and scored by reviewers. If the language is exactly the same, you can put something in place such as ‘see response under [description]’ – just be sure this is crystal clear to reviewers. You are also welcome to shrink the font slightly, although we’d ask you not to go smaller than 10 pt font.
