If an upload fails

- For Could not reach Stoatify or a timeout, check the connection and choose the upload action again. Items that already show success are not uploaded twice in the same sheet.
- For Your session has expired. Sign in again., sign in and restart the upload.
- For You do not have permission to do that., switch to an organization where your role permits uploads or ask an organization owner or admin for access.
Good to know
A completed transfer can still need server processing before its preview and searchable text are ready. Follow Check mobile upload processing.
