# Documents

## Overview
The **Documents** feature allows you to upload and manage files that your bot can learn from to improve its knowledge base. Supported formats include **.pdf, .pptx, and .ppt**.
You can upload up to **10 files at once** with a combined size limit of **100 MB**. Once uploaded, the bot automatically processes the documents, extracts text content, and uses it to provide more accurate and detailed answers.

## Steps to Use
1. **Access the Documents Tab**
* Go to the **Training Data** section in your bot’s dashboard.
* Select the **Documents** tab.
#### 2. Add New Documents
1. Click **Add documents** (top right).
2. In the pop-up window, drag and drop files or click to browse from your computer.
3. Supported formats: **.pdf, .pptx, .ppt**.
4. Upload up to **10 documents** at once (max total size: **100 MB**).
5. Click **Import** to begin uploading and processing.
#### 3. View Uploaded Documents
* Uploaded files appear in a list with details:
* Filename
* File size
* Date/time uploaded
* Processing status (e.g., “0/33 pages processed”)
* Use pagination to navigate if many files are uploaded.
#### 4. Manage Documents

## Example / Use Case
A company uploads:
* Product manuals
* Training guides
* Corporate presentations
The bot then learns from these files and can answer customer questions about technical details, policies, or product features—without needing manual FAQ entry.
## Notes
* Processing may take longer for large or complex files.
* Only **text content** is extracted—images, tables, or special formatting are not processed as knowledge.

## Quick Tips
* Upload documents in text-based format (not scanned images).
* Split large manuals into smaller files for faster processing.
* Use clear titles for files so you can track them easily later.
## Troubleshooting
* **File won’t upload** → Check format (.pdf, .pptx, .ppt) and size ≤100 MB.
* **Status stuck at 0/x** → Wait a few minutes or re-upload.
* **Bot not using content** → Ensure document has extractable text.
* **File disappears after upload** → Refresh page or re-import.
