Self submit option in UKVCAS

[5yrstoday]

Hi all,
I have uploaded my documents to UKVCAS website but I can't see any "self-submit" button anywhere, only "upload" for each of the categories.

UKVCAS Help says the option can be used only once, up to 48hs prior to your appointment, and my appointment is in two weeks' time.
I read elsewhere in this forum that the self-submit button is found scrolling down to the bottom of the "Upload documents" page, but I can't see it.
Maybe the option to self-submit needs to be made earlier in the process, and now it's unavailable to me?

Also, there is a new banner stating that the file upload system changed on 27 July, but my application was submitted earlier so I am still using the "old" system.

Thanks!

If documents aren't self-submitted by the time you have the biometrics appointment the UKVCAS agent will submit on your behalf.

Thanks Alterhase58. I have now confirmed the option has been removed. Here is the new banner text in my "Upload your documents" section:

Upload your documents
We improved the Document upload pages for new applicants on 27/07/2023.

As we received your application before this date, use this page to upload your files.
This will not affect your application.


Self-submitting your documents is no longer required and the service has been removed.
We will submit all your uploaded documents at the end of your appointment.

So that settles it - I'll patiently wait till my appointment!
Good luck everyone.

Thank you for the update; a new development indeed.
