After logging in, when you first drag and drop a PDF document onto Verify/Register page you may be presented with the option to "Generate and Register a new Smart Document" or "Register the existing document". This is a very consequential choice, for the following reason.

When you register a document on Integra Ledger, you are registering the exact digital copy of the document at the moment of registration. If you have already distributed the document, for example in the case of an e-signed contract, other parties already possess a copy of the document in its current form. Registering the document in its current form means that other parties will be able to access document automation features by presenting their existing document to Integra Connect. However, if you were to generate and register a new Smart Document, it would not match the documents you already distributed, and any parties with the original document will not be able to utilize Integra Connect features with that document.

If you have not yet distributed the document, then it is appropriate to generate a new Smart Document and register the document that way. The difference between registering an existing document and a new Smart Document is that the Smart Document will be encoded with additional metadata and QR code that will make it easy for future recipients to access Integra Connect and any enabled document automations.
