 | 2 | The APEX Retriever process places XML files in this folder thereby 'handing off' the file to an Agent or County interface program. |
 | 3 | After the APEX Sender process finishes sending an XML file to the server, it moves the file to this subfolder. |
-| 4 | Part of the 'sending' process is to perform a variety of validation checks. If the sending validation check returns validation errors, the XML file is moved to this subfolder and an alert message is logged in the APEX Log Panel. |
+| 4 | The APEX Direct-Entry UI provide a way for submitters/agents to assemble transactions before sending them to the County Recorder. As Draft transactions are being assembled, their information is temporarily stored in the local DRAFTS subfolder. After the Draft transaction is selected to be Sent, the DRAFTS transaction is removed. |
