Where is the book I uploaded??
I scanned my grandfather's biography on Adobe and saved as a PDF. I uploaded it from my phone to family search in two parts. It's been less than 24 hours but overnight. The book shows up on his family search memories on my phone today but not on my laptop when i logged on. I was hoping to tag people in the book from my laptop. (so much easier) Any ideas what's happening? Thanks!!

Can you provide the relevant profile ID please, assuming you have tagged this document as a memory against a profile? That will help the Community look into this.
It's possible that the memory has failed initial automated content checks. If so, you should get an email about it; you can reply to this requesting manual review.

Thanks so much for your reply. My Grandfather's ID is KW8R-9H8 The document is titled "Man to Match the Mountains page 1-91" and "Man to Match the Mountains pages 92-216.
I appreciate your help!

I've looked for them, both on the profile and by searching Memories, and I agree they are not visible.
However I would guess this upload has been disallowed as a copyright issue since this is a published book from 1992 (https://atom.lib.byu.edu/smh/16730/). (As I mentioned before, you should get an email about the problem if this is the case.)
(Also such a recent document would probably have Privacy Policy issues if it mentions living people.)
You would be much better citing the book as a source, I think - that way people can consult it in a library, or indeed buy a copy, without either copyright or privacy issues arising.

I see what you’re saying about privacy and copyright issues. The publisher is not in business anymore so a copy can’t be purchased. This was a private printing of only a few dozen copied back in 1992. I was hoping this was a way to share and preserve his biography.
You cite a website address… is this book in the BYU library?0 -
You can currently buy it on eBay. WorldCat lists seven libraries, including BYU, Library and Archives Canada (where I imagine legal deposit protections apply to it), and several Canadian university libraries.
