These screenshots are temporary, of the Commons iOS app interface in development as of February 1, 2013.

Login
Input your credentials on the "settings" screen. In future this will pop up on first run, right now you have to go into it explicitly.

Credentials are stored in the iOS Keychain, which means they're encrypted in storage.

Importing files
There are three ways to import a file into the app for upload:

Choose photo
Mostly same as but chooses an existing photo from photo library instead of taking a new one.

Send to app
Since the introduction of the iPad, iOS has somewhat clunky support for sharing documents. Turns out that apps can claim to support particular file formats, and can be used to open documents provided from other apps -- such as saving an email attachment or exporting PDF or SVG from a vector drawing app.

This means we can accept SVG, PDF, and TIFF files when available in addition to those supported directly by the system Photo Library.

Detail editing
In the near future this step should pop up immediately upon importing a file. At the moment you have to tap in from the list.
