Last updated

Upload a document

  1. Open Knowledge and choose the Documents tab.
  2. Drag files onto the box, or click it to choose. You can add several at once.

Ansa reads each file within about a minute.

Which files work

  • PDF with text you can select
  • Word (.docx)
  • TXT and Markdown (.md)

Up to 10 MB each. Save older .doc files, Excel and PowerPoint as PDF first, and remove any passwords.

Scanned PDFs and photos

Ansa can't read words in a scanned PDF or photo, so it shows Failed. Upload the original document instead, or type the key details into a text snippet.

Quick check: if you can't highlight a word in the PDF, Ansa can't read it.

How many documents you can add

  • Free: 5 documents
  • Starter: 20 documents
  • Pro: 50 documents
  • Business: 200 documents

Documents also count towards your plan's knowledge size.

Replace an uploaded document

Delete the old file in the Source library (bin icon, then Delete) and upload the new one.
