PER CURIAM.

Appellant's probation was revoked based upon her entry of a plea, which the trial court accepted as having been knowingly and freely given. However, the lower tribunal failed to enter the required written order identifying the conditions of probation that Appellant was found to have violated. There being no other error apparent on the face of the record, we affirm.¹ However, we remand to the lower tribunal for entry of a separate written order of revocation which sets forth the conditions of probation that Appellant was found to have violated. See Mack v. State, 694 So. 2d 130 (Fla. 5th DCA 1997); J.K. v. State, 350 So. 3d 135, 136 (Fla. 2d DCA 2022) (citing A.T.J.F. v. State, 78 So. 3d 57, 57 (Fla. 4th DCA 2012)).

AFFIRMED; REMANDED.

EDWARDS, EISNAUGLE, and BOATWRIGHT, JJ., concur.
