          Upload your order in PDF, Word, or Excel format. For the best experience, please ensure your file\u00a0contains\u00a0one order only, as files with multiple orders may not process correctly.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>

          Step 2<\/span><\/b>: Review Your Product Options<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>

          We’ll\u00a0automatically review your order and match the products where possible. For each item,\u00a0you’ll\u00a0be presented with suitable alternatives to choose from.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>

              As you make your selections,\u00a0we’ll\u00a0show your pack total so you can easily compare options and stay within budget. You can also view the total when using the Best Match or Best Value selections.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>

                                                The pack name is displayed prominently on-screen\u00a0at the top where the Search field is, making it easy to confirm\u00a0you’re\u00a0editing the correct pack. If you need to work on a different pack, you can quickly switch between packs without having to return to the summary page.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>

                                                This helps you stay organised and makes managing multiple packs simple and efficient.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

                                                When you select a product, a pop-up window will appear asking you to assign the item to a\u00a0<\/span>subject category<\/span><\/b>. This helps keep your pack organised and makes it easier for parents to find the items they need.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>

                                                If the\u00a0appropriate subject\u00a0category\u00a0doesn’t\u00a0already exist, you can create a new one directly from the pop-up window\u2014there’s\u00a0no need to leave the page or complete any extra steps.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>
