Per Curiam.
Michael Jones challenges the trial court’s revocation of his probation. As the State concedes, the trial court erred in failing to enter a written order of revocation of probation. See Hodges v. State , 262 So. 3d 842, 846 (Fla. 1st DCA 2018) (explaining that upon revoking a defendant’s probation, the trial court must render a written order of revocation specifying the conditions of probation that were violated). Accordingly, we remand for the trial court to enter a written order revoking Jones’s probation and specifying the conditions of probation he was found to have violated. Jones need not be present for the entry of the order. See Tribue v. State , 274 So. 3d 1177, 1178 (Fla. 1st DCA 2019).
Upon the trial court’s rendering of a written order of revocation of probation, Jones may appeal if he contends that any of the grounds relied on by the court are not supported by the evidence. See Mitchell v. State , 238 So. 3d 386, 387 n.2 (Fla. 3d DCA 2018).
REMANDED with directions.
