Selecting the Clear Bids button will prompt you to verify you wish to perform the action, and will then clear all bids, including proxy bids for this unit.
Announcements
The Announcements section will allow you to customize announcements for a unit while the unit is on the block.

You can also delete existing announcements by clicking the - icon next to the existing announcement in the top box. These announcements are displayed to all bidders, on the floor and online.
