# Create/Upload and Finalize Documents in the Library

Source: https://sites.veevavault.help/gr/sitevault/eisf-ebinder/create-finalize-library/

Note The steps in this section are for creating new documents. If you are adding an updated version of a document that already exists in SiteVault, [upversion the document instead](/gr/sitevault/eisf-ebinder/new-version/).

While you can choose to create documents in the Document Library, the Study eBinder allows for [simultaneous document upload and approval](/gr/sitevault/eisf-ebinder/upload-final-wf/).

### Upload Documents in the Library

1. Access **Documents \> Library**.
2. Select **Create**.
3. Select **Upload** in the dialog box, then select **Continue**.
4. Either drag and drop files into the blue area or select **Choose**. Uploading multiple files creates multiple documents.
5. Select **Classify documents now** , search for and select the document type, then select **Next**.
6. Complete required and any additional fields as needed.
7. If [copy certification](/gr/sitevault/monitoring/site-copy-cert/) is required, complete the Copy or Original field. Use the hover text for guidance.
8. Select **Save**.

SiteVault creates the document in a **Draft** status. When appropriate, you can move the document to its approved/final state from the Library (see below) or the [Study eBinder](/gr/sitevault/eisf-ebinder/finalize/) (bulk approval available).

### Finalize or Approve a Document in the Library

1. Access **Documents \> Library**.
2. Locate and select the document.
3. From the document’s **All Actions** menu, select **Change Status to {XXXX}** , where “XXXX” is the document type’s final status.
4. Complete the **Document Date** field.
5. Additional Actions 
  - If no further actions are required, select **Save** to complete the process.
  - If [copy certification](/gr/sitevault/monitoring/site-copy-cert/) is required, select **Perform Copy Certification**. 
    - Complete the copy certification.
    - Select **Save** to complete the process.

You can also approve/finalize documents individually or in bulk from the [Study eBinder](/gr/sitevault/eisf-ebinder/finalize/).
