You can submit multiple documents and/or media file types. Select “Upload a file” again to do this. 

Please be patient when submitting documents before submitting. 

All uploaded submissions will be displayed under “drag file here”. You can view your submission by clicking on the downward arrow. You can delete your submission by selecting the “bin” icon, or you can download the submission by selecting the three dots. 

To make a submission, select “submit” in the bottom right-hand corner. You can also “Save and Close” your current attempt. This will save as a draft and will not be considered a submission.

After submitting, if you need to double-check that your submission has gone through, you can select “1 submitted”; this will show your current submission. You can also view any previous attempts as well.
