   • (Optional) Ref # - Enter a reference number in the field provided.
7. Upload any relevant documentation by selecting from the options.
   • Upload or revise local files - Select this if you are uploading new files or issue revised files then attach them in the dropzone link. You can attach both new files and issue revised files in the same message.
     • To upload new files,
       1. Attach the file in the dropzone link and select New Document (Not a Revision) from the dropdown.
       2. Select the relevant Group and Service from the dropdowns and click the Send button.
          
          
          

          If you are uploading a new, distinct document, select New Document (Not a Revision) from the dropdown.

     • To upload revised files,
       1. Attach the file in the dropzone link.
       2. Select the original document name from the dropdown and click the Send button.
          
          
          
          

          Felix matches new file upload names with documents you have already released to vendors with the same RFQ. If the file name of the new upload is the same as one of the previously released documents, this attachment will be suggested as a revision of the matched document. In certain scenarios, a file may not be matched automatically. For example, the file name is significantly different from the original revision name. In this case, select the original document name from the dropdown.
