Documents & Files
Read and extract information from documents — PDFs, Word files, PowerPoints, and images. Documents can be attached at the grid level or at the cell level.
Grid-level documents
Grid-level documents are files that belong to the entire grid. They're uploaded once and can be referenced in any column's AI prompt.
When to use grid-level documents:
- A company overview PDF that all your columns might reference
- A brief or spec document that gives context for the whole analysis
- A dataset, report, or contract that multiple columns will extract from
How to upload
- Click the Settings icon in the toolbar
- Open the Documents section
- Click Upload and choose your files
You can upload up to 50 documents per grid. Supported file types:
- PDF (including scanned/image-based PDFs)
- Microsoft Word (
.docx) - Microsoft PowerPoint (
.pptx) - Images (
.jpg,.jpeg,.png,.webp)
OCR (optical character recognition) is used to read scanned documents and images — even a photo of a printed page works.
Referencing documents in column prompts
Uploading a document doesn't include it in processing automatically. You must explicitly reference it in a column prompt using @ — see Columns for @mention syntax.
Based on @Q4 Earnings Report, what was the year-over-year revenue growth?
Using @Product Spec, list the three most important technical requirements.
According to @Interview Transcript, what was the candidate's answer to the culture fit question?
To reference all uploaded documents at once:
Based on @All Documents, identify the common themes across all the reports.
The @ mention dropdown in the column prompt field shows two sections:
- Columns — other columns in the grid (inject row-specific cell values)
- Documents — uploaded grid-level files (inject document content)
Both types of @mention work the same way and can be combined in a single prompt:
For @Company Name, and based on @Due Diligence Report, summarize the key investment risks.
Cell-level documents
You can also attach a document to an individual cell. This is useful when each row has its own distinct document — for example:
- A grid of job applicants where each row has its own CV
- A grid of contracts where each row has its own PDF
- A grid of research papers where each row is a different article
To attach a document to a cell, click the cell to open it, then use the attachment option. Once a document is attached, AI columns can reference it alongside the grid-level documents.
Privacy when sharing
Grid-level documents are not exposed when you share a grid publicly. Viewers see the cell content that was generated from those documents, but cannot access, download, or view the source files.
