Good morning. Just now I watched a video on different tools in the ecosystem, and the first one looked cool. In, say, Mail, you click on the Attachment button, scroll down and hit "iPhone > Scan Documents" it automatically wakes up your iPhone, you can scan the document, and its immediately dropped into your email. Cool, and quicker than I used to do it (scan the doc with the phone, save it to my iCloud desktop, then grab it and drop it onto my email; saves a step or two.

Unfortunately, that selection is greyed out on my MB:

I started digging around in the Settings, and found and enabled this switch:

...but that didn't give me the iPhone Scan Doc feature. Anybody know what I'm missing/how to enable those features in Mail? Both my MB and iPhone are on the same iCloud account. TIA!
