If you don't display all of the transactions, you may miss some details.  One issue is missing or incorrect basis.  If you don't post it you may not recognize it.  

However, you do have the option to post only the summary.  You will have to send the IRS the details of all transactions.

If you can create a PDF you only have to attach the SELL transaction details that are not already detailed on your tax return.

Detail Reporting Exception: if you summarize Category A or Category D, Form 8949 is not needed for transactions without adjustments. No mailing is necessary. No attachment is necessary.
