interactive while Watch folders are automatic; documents in a Watch folder
are uploaded periodically and documents in a Staging folder remain indefinitely

also provided. An example of Staging folder use is when multiple people
are scanning documents but only one person must be allowed to upload those
documents. This one person examines the scans quality and decides what to
upload and what to reject and have re-scanned. Watch folders can be used
