Once a filing has been submitted, additional documents cannot be attached. You have two options:
Option 1 - New Cases: If you need to attach additional documents to an initial case filing, cancel the filing, copy your cancelled filing, make your corrections, then resubmit your filing.
As long as the filling is in Submitted status, you still have the option of canceling the filing and resubmitting it with all documentation. Once a filing has reached a status of Accepted, Rejected, Pending, or Under Review, it cannot be cancelled using the eFiling system. You must contact the court to cancel the filing after they have started the review process.

Note: If your filing had fees, these fees would have already been placed as an authorization hold on your card. If you cancel the filing, the transaction will be voided, but the hold will take 3-14 business days for your bank/card provider to release the funds. When you resubmit, a new authorization hold will be placed on the card. Transactions are not permanent unless the court accepts your filing.
Option 2 - Existing Cases: If the case you must add documents to already exists, then simply file into the existing case like normal.
