Check and Save
8. Once you have recorded your comment, you will have an opportunity to play it back to yourself to make sure you are happy with it. Once you are happy with the recording, click on the blue save icon. If you are not happy, you can click on the dustbin icon to delete your recording and start again.
Saving Recording
