In the upload profile (which can be edited using admin access), one can check the option "Manual Validation Separation Required", which will place the document in the queue for separation validation. 

One can choose an option for Auto separation config and the options can be Barcode, Blank Page, Fixed Page interval, Parashift Page or not-set. 

According to the selections of Manual Validation Separation Required and Auto separation config, the user can control the workflow in the following way:

If the separation is performed within the Parashift platform, the incoming document is different from the processed and outgoing document. It is therefore advisable to activate the option "Generate Output PDF" in the upload profile and to retrieve the newly created document via the API and integrate it into the subsequent process.
