Step by step
- Open Documents from the menu.
- Click + New folder, type a Folder name and click Create. A new top-level folder can be opened only by you until you give others access.
- Click the folder to open it. The path at the top starts at All documents, and the upload box names the folder after Uploading to.
- Click Choose files under Upload documents and pick one or more files. If a file with the same name is already there, choose Add version, Upload separately or Skip, then click Continue.
- Watch the Search column. Indexing... changes to Searchable once Ask AI can find the document; click Retry if it shows Failed.
- Click Add a description in the Description column, type a short note and press Enter.
- Click a file name to open Document details, where you can add Tags, see the Version History and click Upload New Version.
- Click the ⋯ button at the end of a row and choose View to read the file in a new tab. The same menu has Download, Rename, Move and Delete.
- Click Trash at the top of the page to find deleted documents and Restore them.
Good to know
- Each file can be up to 100 MB. PDF, Word, Excel, PowerPoint, images and CAD drawings (DXF) are read and indexed; other types are stored but cannot be searched.
- Scanned PDFs are read page by page with text recognition (OCR). Photos and other image files are accepted only where your package includes reading scanned documents.
- Moving a document to another folder changes who can find it, including through Ask AI.
- Documents synced from SharePoint, OneDrive, Google Drive or email cannot be renamed, moved or deleted here. Make the change at the source.
