@koko57 can you please comment you'd like to work on this?

[koko57]

Hey, I'm Agata from Callstack, I would like to work on the implementation.

This issue has not been updated in over 15 days. @koko57 eroding to Monthly issue.

P.S. Is everyone reading this sure this is really a near-term priority? Be brave: if you disagree, go ahead and close it out. If someone disagrees, they'll reopen it, and if they don't: one less thing to do!

[koko57]

I'm back and I will start working on this after Stage 2

[koko57]

I will start working on the validation and will do as much as I can do without the Multi Scan completed.

[koko57]

Working on it, I've already simplified some code that handles the validation to make it more reusable and easier to use when we'll start accepting multiple files.

[koko57]

I'm planning to focus mainly on #61180 today to make it ready to open the PR.

I'm thinking of starting Stage 4 (double dropzone) this week - as it's independent from MultiScan project and could be working with single file support

@lakchote @dubielzyk-expensify

Where should this "Learn more about supported formats" link to?

[lakchote]

It's very vague what we have now in HelpDot for this:

Should we create a dedicated sub-section somewhere, @trjExpensify?

[trjExpensify]

Probably, you can link to an anchored position/section on a help page. Who's assigned to the resource management portion of this project? Let's loop them in.
