E-processing -Appeals

In situations where appeal process had started under physical system and hearings have taken place, will process under new e-processing system for appeals start afresh , ignoring all hearings taken place and documents submitted in form of Paper Book? Uploading Paper Book consisting of more than 100 pages by scanning is a voluminous task - is it necessary to be  done or can one refer to the documents already submitted and would be available with the authorities in form of Paper book? Are existing files relating to the case not forwarded to team that is assigned to decide the case?  Is all the work done in hearings over 2 years  waste and has to be done again as if it is a fresh appeal? Can members throw some light on the process? Or suggest whom and how to ask in the system?
