Documents - How can I upload a translation of an already sent document?
A ‘Refresh’ button is available for these cases where a translation has been uploaded into ARES at a later stage after a document has been sent in SFC2021. The Refresh will check ARES for any new attachments and upload them with the sent document in SFC. This action can be done by EC Users with update access.

General - The Object is 'Returned', so why is the Current Node 'European Commission'?
When an object is returned by the Commission in SFC2021 it will display as 'Current node' -> 'European Commission'. This is because the version that has been returned is no longer editable by the Member state and they must create a new version of the object in order to edit the information.

General - Is it possible to import data from and export to Excel ?

- Export to Excel (Excel and CSV formats) is available on all Tables: 1. Right click on the Table / 2. Export / 3.
Standalone Documents - Why does SFC only allow the creator to send a document?
Documents and more specifically the Standalone/Referring documents don't have a workflow and without transaction between MS nodes, because this is more flexible and more convenient for users and best reflects how document transmission in most organizations work.
The only type of status is sent or not sent, so a creator cannot indicate that he finished editing the document, that he uploaded all the necessary files, and that the document is ready to be sent. If we would allow someone other than the creator to send, this person could send incomplete documents.
