Uploads one file through Add documents and returns the new item in Processing. Images and PDFs may be up to 6MB, ZIP files 100MB. Mode one_per_file takes PDF, JPG, PNG or ZIP; one_per_page and auto_split take PDF only. The upload reaches no one and the item can be archived, so it runs without asking.
