If Auto mode is on (it’s on by default), you’ll see a yellow border appear around the document you’re scanning just before the scan is captured. The scan will minimize to the bottom-left corner and you’ll see a message that says “Ready for next scan. " If the scan isn’t clear, you may be prompted to crop it to the desired size. If you’re in Manual mode, hover the camera over the document until the part you want to scan is surrounded by a yellow border. Tap the round shutter button at the bottom-center part of the screen to scan.
If you are not happy with how the image looks, tap Retake to take another picture.

You can also save the document to a particular folder on your iPhone or in your iCloud Drive by selecting Save to Files on the sharing menu.
You’ll need to be signed in to both your iPhone and Mac using the same Apple ID for this to work. Make sure you have your iPhone handy and that the screen is unlocked when you initiate the scan from your Mac. If Bluetooth and Wi-Fi aren’t enabled on both the iPhone and Mac, turn them on now.
