## Quick Reference

- Choose an upload: a multipart file or JSON with Base64.
- Upload to the project with the project ID from your create call.
- Keep the document ID from the response.
- Get the inspection to confirm the document is attached.

## Before You Start

- You've ordered the inspection and saved its project ID.
- You have a valid access token (see Getting an Access Token).

## Step 1: Choose How to Upload

**Multipart file.** Upload project document (Multipart) sends the file as a standard multipart form, addressed to the project ID.

**JSON with Base64.** Upload project document (JSON + Base64) sends the file Base64-encoded inside a JSON body, for systems that already build JSON requests.

## Step 2: Upload and Save the IDs

**Send the upload.** Send the call with your Bearer token. Keep the project ID and the document ID from the response with the loan record.

**Replace a document.** With the JSON upload, sending a document again with the same usage and sequence replaces the earlier file.

## Step 3: Confirm the Document Landed

**Check the inspection.** A success response doesn't prove the inspector can see the file. Get the inspection under Check Status and confirm the document is attached.

**Ask support if it's still missing.** If the document is attached but the inspector still can't see it, send RAZE support the project ID, inspection ID, document ID and file name.

## Tips

**DO**
- Upload documents right after the create call, while you have the project ID.
- Keep each document ID with the loan record.
- Give files clear names so the inspector knows what each one is.

**WATCH FOR**
- A success response isn't proof the inspector can see the file.
- Check the project ID: the wrong one puts the file on another project.
- The same usage and sequence replaces the earlier file.

## Troubleshooting

**Q: The upload succeeded but the document isn't on the inspection.**
A: Confirm the upload used the right project ID, then get the inspection again. If it's still missing, send RAZE support the project ID, inspection ID, document ID and file name.

**Q: Which upload should I use?**
A: Either one. Multipart suits files on disk; JSON with Base64 suits systems that already send JSON.

**Q: Can I add documents to the inspection itself?**
A: Yes. Create Inspection in the API reference also lists Upload inspection document and Get inspection document.
