# Managing Documents

Once a knowledge base is set up, you can manage individual documents — upload new files, check processing status, and remove outdated content.

## Viewing documents

Navigate to a knowledge base and click on a datasource to see its documents. Each entry shows:

* **Filename** — The uploaded or synced document name
* **Status** — Processing state (Uploaded, Processing, Indexed, Failed)
* **Date added** — When the document was uploaded or synced
* **Size** — File size

## Uploading new documents

To add documents to an existing file-upload datasource:

1. Open the knowledge base and select the datasource
2. Click **Upload Files** or drag and drop new files
3. Wait for processing to complete

New documents are indexed independently — adding files does not re-index existing ones.

## Removing documents

1. Open the knowledge base and navigate to the document
2. Click the **Delete** action
3. Confirm the deletion

Removing a document deletes it from storage and removes its chunks from the vector index. Agents will no longer cite content from that document.

## Replacing documents

To replace an outdated document:

1. Delete the old document
2. Upload the new version

There is no in-place update — remove and re-upload to ensure the document is fully re-processed and re-indexed.

## Bulk operations

For SharePoint or Google Drive datasources, document management is handled automatically by the sync process. Neural Factory detects additions, updates, and deletions during each sync cycle.
