Files
Browse, search and manage the documents the brain reads.
# Files The Files page lists every document the brain has learned from. Open it from the top bar. ## Browse and search Documents sit in folders. Click a folder to go in, and use the breadcrumbs to go back. You can switch between **List View** and **Grid View**, sort by **Name** or **Date Added**, and filter by type: Documents, Spreadsheets, Emails and Text files. The search box, "Search in Files", matches file and folder names and paths, not the words inside a file. Click a ready file to open a preview. **Open** and **Download** are in each file's menu. ## Status Each file shows its state: - **Processing**: the brain is still reading it. It cannot be opened yet. - **Ready**: it is searchable and can be opened. - **Failed**: the brain could not read it. Hover to see why. Admins can **Dismiss** the failure. A file marked **Private** came from someone's personal connection and only its owner sees it. See [Connected apps](https://docs.skilltreeos.ai/connected-apps/). ## Add and change files (admin only) Only admins can change what is in the brain. Members see the list without these actions. - **Upload**: choose **New**, then **Upload Files** or **Upload Folder**. You can also drop files onto the page. A folder keeps its structure. Supported types are pdf, docx, xlsx, txt, eml and md. - **Replace**: in a file's menu, choose **Replace** and pick the new version. If the content has not changed, nothing is replaced. - **Delete**: choose **Delete** in the file's menu. This removes the file and everything the brain learned from it. Answers no longer draw on it. The same file uploaded into two folders is one document, kept in the first folder. ## Files from connected apps Documents that come from a connected app, such as Dropbox, appear here too. They follow the app's shared folders. See [Sharing folders and areas](https://docs.skilltreeos.ai/connected-apps/sharing-folders-and-areas/).The Files page lists every document the brain has learned from. Open it from the top bar.
