7.2 Viewing, Editing, and Deleting Documents
1. After uploading documents, you can go back to My Documents to verify that
the document in .pdf format was uploaded correctly and free of errors.
2. You cannot edit a document (except for cover letters created using the
OSCAR online editor) directly in OSCAR. To edit a document, you must use
your word processing software, save the edited document in PDF format,
delete the older version from “My Documents,” and upload the new one (see
section 7.1 above).
Note: Editing documents WILL NOT replace the previous documents in
already submitted applications or applications identified as Hold for Later
Submission. You must go back to the application and substitute the edited
document.
3. To delete a document, click on the Delete icon within My Documents.
OSCAR will display a message that states “Are you sure you want to delete
this document?” Click OK or Cancel.
