LS-67203: Dragging and dropping files onto the Sharepointe Documents list on a case will now display a nice message telling you when the upload is complete, and will refresh the list for you. A progress bar may appear in 2021.

Your hopes and dreams have been fulfilled. See the new "Intake processes available for transferred cases" selector on the Admin > Process Settings page. Select two or more. Save. Then look at a pending transfer, select "Begin Intake", et voilá, observe your options.
