Updated August 3, 2026 Β· 7 minUpload a file
Open Knowledge, select a base, and choose Upload document. Studio supports PDF, Word, and Excel documents.
Before uploading:
- Remove duplicate versions.
- Use descriptive titles and headings.
- Confirm that the text is selectable.
- Split very long documents or documents covering unrelated subjects.
Wait for indexing
Uploading does not make a file available immediately. It must reach the Indexed status before you test it with an agent.
Do not upload passwords, API keys, or information the agent should not process.
