Customer Perspective:

The customer is presented with a button for each required document. They can click each button to upload or scan the relevant document.

  

The upload option supports the following file types: PDF, PNG, and JPG.

Once the customer uploads a file, they can do any of the following:

  - Click the **+** icon on the empty thumbnail to add another file for the same document. For example, the back of a driver's license.
  - Click **Save for later**. This enables them to move onto another document while saving what they have uploaded already.
  - Click **Finish**. This saves the uploaded files and finalizes the upload. They can no longer change these files.
