Can I manually upload plans into PlanAccess?

If any utilities reply to you directly, either by emailed, faxed, or posted hard copies, these can be manually loaded into PlanAccess. This will help ensure that all the information is kept in one place and is accessible to other users (if using a company account). Please note, any faxed or posted plans would need to be scanned to your computer before uploading them into PlanAccess will be possible.
