Open one of the uploaded sheets to review, then select the X in the upper right corner to close.
Select Upload Files and navigate to the ConnectedLearningWay.pdf file located in the Rev01 directory and select OK.
Choose the ConnectedLearning Layout Template and select Continue.
Make any necessary corrections to the information extracted.
Open one of the recently uploaded sheets and select the Compare icon on the tool bar at the bottom of the screen.
