Scan a Document

Have a paper worksheet, handwritten assignment, or other document you'd like to add to Showbie? You can use your iPhone or iPad camera to scan one or multiple pages and upload them directly to an assignment.

To scan a document:

  1. Open the assignment where you'd like to upload the document.

  2. Tap the + icon.

  3. Select Scan Document.

  4. Position your document within the camera view and capture the page.

  5. Adjust the scan if needed, then tap Keep Scan.

  6. Continue scanning if you'd like to add more pages.

  7. When you're finished, tap Save.

Uploading Multiple Pages

When scanning multiple pages, you can either upload them as:

  • Individual items – each scanned page is added separately.

  • A single document – all scanned pages are combined into one document.

Once uploaded, you can rename the document in Showbie.

Tips for a Clear Scan

For the best results:

  • Place your document on a flat, well-lit surface.

  • Make sure the entire page is visible within the camera frame.

  • Avoid shadows or glare across the page.

  • Check each scanned page before saving.
