Hello all,

On our blogs we have mentioned that we would love to see some examples of work. If you are wondering how to share this with us, if you have iPads/iPhones or an Android phone such as a Samsung, the following links should be able to help.

For iPad – you will need the Notes app (which usually comes as a default): credit to https://www.imore.com/how-use-document-scanner-iphone-and-ipad:

4. Tap Scan Document from the list of options.
