File Upload

Direct file upload is the simplest way to add documents to your vector store. Upload PDFs, Word documents, text files, or Markdown documents and they'll be automatically chunked and embedded.

Uploading Files

2. Click Add Source and select the Upload card, or click Browse on an existing Upload source
3. In the upload dialog, either:
   • Drag and drop files onto the upload zone
   • Click to browse and select files from your computer
4. Files are automatically uploaded and queued for processing
