1. In the OneDrive app, tap Scan  .

2. Select Document and tap the white circle icon to scan the item.

   Use the option for multi-page scanning.

   This allows you to combine multiple scans into a single PDF. To utilize that option, tap Add, then scan your next document.

3. To sign or draw on the image, select the Pen icon and choose a color. (If you don’t like the image, tap the left arrow icon in the upper left to delete the scan and try again.)

4. Once you’re done editing your item, tap Done (or the checkmark on Android devices), enter a file name, then tap Save (or the checkmark on Android devices).

When Files On-Demand is turned on, the files synced to your OneDrive – University of Vermont folder will display one of three icons. These icons let you know the current sync status of the file or folder.

Online-only files don’t take up space on your computer. You see a cloud icon for each online-only file, but the file doesn’t download to your device until you open it. You need an Internet connection to open online-only files.

Opening an online-only file will automatically download a local copy of the file to your device. This allows the file to become a locally available file, which can be accessed anytime, even when your computer does not have an Internet connection. You can change the file back to online-only by right-clicking the file and selecting Free up space.

Files that have been marked as Always keep on this device will have a green circle with the white checkmark. Always available files are stored locally on your device and will take up space, but they are always available, even without an Internet connection.
