In two of my footnotes, Prior Year data that is not phsyically in my current year document (not presented, not in hidden cells, not in non-printing information) is showing up in the SEC XBRL viewer. Where could these #'s be pulling in from? Other files?

    Hi Jonathan, 

    Is the prior year data present somewhere else in your document? You could be experiencing "bleed through" in the SEC Viewer. If a concept is used in more than one place in the document, it will render in the SEC Viewer in all locations.

    If you are seeing prior year dates mixed in with the footnotes, it's likely that those same concepts are used on the face financial statements and are getting pulled through. This is not something that can be changed or fixed. It is the expected behavior in the SEC's rendering report.

    You can reference this article from Help. The specific section would be the one that discusses "Managing XBRL Noise".

    Have a great day!
