I believe there is a location on the worksheet where you can enter the totals. Even if you enter the individual amounts, if you go over 100 transactions, then it may total it anyways, which is what happened with me. But that is just my opinion, you do what you want to do.

PA types 3,000 words a minute so it sounds like he enters the info.  The rest of us that type 3 words or less per minute just enter the totals for covered sales.

If it's a few transactions I enter them.  If more I enter:  Short-Term Covered Sales, 12/31/21, Various, Total SP and Total Cost Basis.  Same for Long-Term and Short-Term/Long-Term Noncovered Sales.

Do you have to show documentation for non covers stock sales or just show the totals?

I always attach as a pdf file all the sales if I'm reporting totals.
