Use the document pickup authorization and document inventory form before records move.

Common mistakes

When you are done
Run the quality control checklist, verify the folder structure and file naming convention, and provide the files through the agreed cloud storage account. Complete the digital delivery confirmation form and follow the secure return or shredding policy for the original records.
