Description

I love this app, it's better than any other document scanning app I've found. However, I have one request. After pressing the camera button on the main screen to take a picture, I can scan one page of a document and verify how I want it to look. My problem is that closing this view by swiping back or pressing the back button takes me back to the main screen of the app, not to the page view for a single document. I find this very confusing because when I want to scan a document, it usually has more than one page, so I have to select the document and then press the "+" button.

This only happens for the first page scanned, and I do understand why the app is designed this way, but I think it adds more chance for confusion than help.

Research direction

Start by reproducing the flow from the main screen's camera button: scan the first page, then close the camera or page view with back or a swipe. Trace the navigation into the single-document page view and compare it with the existing “+” flow. Done means closing the first-page view returns directly to that document's page view instead of the main screen.
