The Add Gift Aid Declaration wizard has Contact, Scope, Method, Donor and Review steps.

Field Requirement
Contact ID Required; an individual donor’s CRM identifier
Scope Single donation; All future donations from today; All past and future donations
Donation ID Required for Single donation
Effective from Date from which the declaration applies
Method Written form; Web form checkbox; Email; Text message; Verbal / phone
First name and Last name Required donor details captured on the declaration
Address line 1 and Postcode Required donor address details
Title, Address line 2, Town / city Optional
Tax disclosure Confirm that the donor received the displayed tax explanation

The declaration captures donor details separately from the contact record. Check these details rather than assuming the Contact ID fills them in.

Status Meaning in the application
Active Available to the eligibility checks, subject to scope and donation checks
Pending confirmation Created by the verbal/phone method; confirmation is outstanding
Cancelled Withdrawn; cancellation requires a reason
Expired No longer in force

The list shortens scope labels to Single donation, Future donations, and All donations, and Web form checkbox to Web form. Only Active and Pending confirmation rows offer cancellation. The current wizard has no general Notes field, and the list has no pending-confirmation action.
