Saving scanned receipts
When you scan a receipt and save an expense, the image is stored as an attachment on the expense. You can view, zoom, and share it any time from the expense detail screen.
How receipts are stored
Each scanned or uploaded receipt image is saved as an attachment on the expense record.
Images are stored securely in your MileLedger account and synchronised across your devices.
OCR processing is done entirely on-device; only the final attachment image and expense data are synced — not raw OCR data.
Accessing saved receipts
Open the Expenses tab and tap the expense.
Scroll to the Attachments section to see all attached images and PDFs.
Tap a thumbnail to open it full-screen. Use pinch-to-zoom to inspect fine detail.
Sharing or exporting receipt images
From the full-screen attachment view, use the Share button to send the image via email, AirDrop, or any app on your device.
When you export a PDF report from MileLedger, attached receipts can be included in the export depending on your report settings.
Deleting a receipt attachment
Open the expense, tap Edit, scroll to Attachments, and swipe left on the attachment you want to remove. Tap Delete.
Deleting an attachment is permanent and cannot be undone.
