**Note the Recent Documents tab is automatically selected, and users should see the initial document(s) shared with them.**
- A message will appear confirming the initial document download, that the matter is now connected to the sender’s (i.e. the firm’s) ACL matter, and that users can send documents back under the same matter context. Click OK to proceed.
- Users will be directed to the Matter context page where the initial document download is confirmed.
- Users can close the dialogs on the right, and click on Upload & Share to send documents back.
From the Upload & Share page, users click on Select file(s). This will open the file explorer where they can select the required file(s) from their computer.
The files are brought into the upload page, where users will click in the "select recipients" field and type any letter. This will open a list of firm members who have access to the matter on the ACL/firm side, and users can select the correct recipients.
After the recipients are selected, users will click Upload & Share, and the process is complete.
