# Upload, Search, and Download Documents on the Portal

> Manage your document library on the NBA Remuneration Portal — upload files, search your library, download documents, and attach files to property deals.

The NBA Remuneration Portal includes a document library where you can store, organise, and retrieve all files related to your property transactions. You can upload documents directly to your library at any time, or attach them to a specific deal during the deal creation process. All uploaded documents remain accessible from the **Documents** section of the portal.

## When documents are required

Documents are needed in two contexts:

* **During deal creation**: A sworn affidavit is required before you can submit a deal. You may also upload additional supporting property documents (such as a title deed or survey plan) at that stage. These files are automatically linked to the deal.
* **Standalone uploads**: You can upload documents to your library independently of any deal — for example, to store frequently used templates or reference files for future transactions.

## Uploading a document

<Steps>
  <Step title="Navigate to Documents">
    From the sidebar, click **Documents** to open your document library.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Open the upload dialog">
    Click **Upload Document**. A dialog or upload panel opens.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Select your file">
    Click **Choose File** (or drag and drop your file into the upload area) and select the document from your device.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Add document metadata">
    Enter a document name and select the document type if prompted. Clear, descriptive names make it easier to find documents later.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Confirm the upload">
    Click **Upload**. Once the upload completes, the document appears in your library and is immediately available for download or attachment to a deal.
  </Step>
</Steps>

<Warning>
  Use standard document formats for uploads: **PDF**, **DOCX**, or **JPG**. Uploading unsupported file types may result in errors or prevent the document from being accepted during deal submission. If you are unsure whether a format is accepted, convert the file to PDF before uploading.
</Warning>

## Searching your document library

Use the search bar at the top of the **Documents** page to filter documents by name or reference number. Type any part of the document name and the list updates in real time. This is especially useful when your library contains documents across multiple deals.

## Downloading a document

To download a document from your library:

1. Open the **Documents** page from the sidebar.
2. Locate the document you want — use the search bar if needed.
3. Click on the document to open its detail view.
4. Click **Download**. The file downloads to your device.

<Note>
  Documents uploaded during deal creation are automatically linked to that deal. You can view them from both the **Documents** library and the deal's detail page. Avoid removing documents linked to an active or approved deal — contact support before deleting any such file.
</Note>

<Tip>
  Name your documents clearly and consistently before uploading. A format such as `affidavit-[property-address]-[date].pdf` (for example, `affidavit-plot-45-ikeja-2026-04.pdf`) makes it straightforward to identify the right file when working across multiple transactions.
