Uploading Documents
Upload files to your personal document library so the AI can reference them in conversations and you can access them anytime.
How to Upload
Single File
- Go to My Documents in the sidebar
- Click the "Upload" button
- Select a file from your computer
- Choose an access level (who can see this document):
- Personal — Only you
- Team — Your team members
- Department — Your entire department
- Organization — Everyone in the company
- Confidential — Admins and executives only
- Click "Upload"
Drag and Drop
You can also drag files directly from your computer onto the My Documents page. The upload dialog will appear automatically.
Bulk Upload
To upload multiple files at once:
- Click "Bulk Upload"
- Select multiple files or drag them all at once
- Set the access level (applies to all files)
- A progress tracker shows each file's upload status
- Wait for all uploads to complete
Access Levels Explained
| Level | Who Can See | Use For |
|---|---|---|
| Personal | Only you | Drafts, personal notes, work in progress |
| Team | Your team | Team meeting notes, shared references |
| Department | Your department | Department policies, guidelines |
| Organization | Everyone | Company-wide policies, handbooks |
| Confidential | Admins & executives only | Sensitive data, legal documents |
caution
Choose access levels carefully. Once a document is accessible to others, they can reference it in their AI conversations.
What Happens After Upload
When you upload a document, the system automatically:
- Reads the content — extracts text from the file
- Processes it for search — so you and the AI can find it later
- Makes it available — based on the access level you set
This processing happens in the background. Large files may take a moment.
Upload Limits
info
File size limits are set by your administrator. If a file is too large, try compressing it or splitting it into smaller parts.
Tips
- Set the right access level — start with "Personal" if you're unsure, you can change it later
- Use descriptive file names — "Q3-Marketing-Budget-2025.pdf" is easier to find than "report-final-v2.pdf"
- Upload before chatting — if you want the AI to reference a document, upload it first, then ask about it in chat
