# Complete a document upload

> Completes an upload after its bytes were PUT: the document appears in the trip's Documents tab — internal (`visibility: staff`) unless you release it with `visibility: traveler`, optionally into a folder (`folderId`), as dropping a file on a visible folder does.

`POST /v1/documents/{documentId}/complete`

Completes an upload after its bytes were PUT: the document appears in the trip's Documents tab — internal (`visibility: staff`) unless you release it with `visibility: traveler`, optionally into a folder (`folderId`), as dropping a file on a visible folder does. The recorded size and type are the ones storage received. Nothing uploaded yet is a 422 `upload_missing`; a second completion a 409 `already_complete`. Undo with POST /changes/{changeId}/revert: it deletes the upload while nobody has changed it since.

**Permissions:** `documents:write` · **Kind:** write · **Cost:** 1 unit · MCP tool [`complete_document_upload`](https://api.bymundi.com/docs/mcp/tools/complete_document_upload.md)

Undoable: the response carries `Bymundi-Change-Id`; [revert it](https://api.bymundi.com/docs/guides/undo-and-dry-run.md) with `POST /v1/changes/{changeId}/revert`.
