Upload a file#

- Confirm the file appears in the intended folder. If the UI reports an upload failure, read the message before retrying.
- Open the file to inspect its preview.

Organize folders#
Click New folder, enter Folder name, and choose Create folder. Open the folder before uploading when that is the desired destination. Use breadcrumbs to return to its parent. Multi-selection and the file action menu provide the operations available for the selected items; check the selection before moving or deleting content.

Choose the next action#
| Goal | Action |
|---|---|
| Query uploaded rows as a reusable table | Promote to a dataset |
| Extract text from a PDF or image | Create a transform using OCR |
| Classify or extract structured fields | Configure a provider and an AI transform |
| Reuse the file in a pipeline | Add a File input node to a transform |
A file can be content used by another workflow. Keep its access and the consumer's permissions in mind when sharing the result.
