Transferring Log4OM QSO's to Lotw

I am registered with Lotw and have a password etc. I recently started using Log4OM to log QSO's. I want to upload them to Lotw, but I am having difficulty figuring out how to do it. I could could some basic instructions or maybe tell me where to go to find them.
Thanks Ken K5XOM

Please check our user manual at side 93. You may find the manual in the
HELP menu under Help/English/open Manual. If it´s not there use the
download feature in the same menu.
There you find the informations to loading up to eQSL and LotW ...
Or take a look to the video tutorials of G4POP on Youtube. The one
for eQSL and LotW you will find here:

I have been looking at the help manual to learn how to upload QSO's to eQsl and LOTW.
The thing is, when I click on QSL management, none of the QSO's that I have logged appear in the window. So now I am stopped from going any farther. I read the pages starting with page 93. How do I get my QSO's to appear in the window to upload?

You will see four buttons - Search - QSL - EQSL - LOTW - They are below the 'Call sign' input field and 'Search' button at the top left of the QSL manager window and just above the green coloured panel.
1. The 'Search' button enables you to enter a date range by checking the 'Date range' box and selecting the dates - If you don't check the box the next step will display all records or those for the call sign entered into the 'Call sign field.
2. If you now select any of the other three buttons you are presented with search facilities for that particular type of QSL you want to manage (QSL, EQSL or LOTW) as an example the QSL button provides facilities for searching or updating a record for incoming cards, whereas the EQSL and LOTW buttons provide upload and download facilities also
3. Entering a call sign at the top left 'Call sign' field and then either pressing the enter/return button on your keyboard or clicking the 'SEARCH' button next to the call sign field will display all of the QSO's for the call sign you entered.
4. If you leave the 'Call sign' field blank at the top left of the window and then either press the enter/return button on your keyboard or clicking the 'SEARCH' button next to the call sign field will display all of the QSO in your logbook.
We don't initially display every QSO in your logbook without some interaction from the user because in the case of large databases containing hundreds of thousand s of QSO's it can take a long time to display them - The idea is that you decide what you require and then only those QSO's are displayed.

Thank you Terry for providing those answers. A big help. Like hitting key board return without inserting a call sign, That is what I need to know to call up all qso's in the log.
thank you

I get the following text when I click UPLOAD
WARNING, Y = 2017 M=8 D=28 (call sign) 20M PSK BAD RECORD: DUPLICATE
I did a up load on multiple QSO's and got the same on all of the qso's.
So I don't know if the QSO had already been uploaded automatically some how or what. I tied to find in the program if there was a check box to automatically upload qso's, but finding no box to check to do that.

Hi Ken,
maybe it was an upload you did before when you testing it. Log4OM don´t has
automatted uploads to the LotW. This works only for the other online Logs and eQSL.
LotW need TQSL signed files for upload and that is only possible via a manual upload.

I just didn't know what to think of the text. I was doing the upload to eQSL, I should have mentioned that.
I am still trying to learn the process of uploading qso's.
Also a ADIF file is something that I need to understand what that is.
