- Browse for the document: Tap items below Locations, Favorites, or Tags and open folders to locate the document. (If you don’t see Locations, tap Browse again.)
- Search for the document: Type part or all of the document name in the search field near the top of the screen.

Choose an option for sending the document (for example, Message, Mail, and so on).

You can rearrange your sharing options to make it easier to access the ones you use most often.
