# Files & Knowledge

You can share **documents** with UncensoredGPT so it can read them and answer questions based on their content. For example, you can upload a PDF or a Word file and then ask questions about what is inside it.

## What kinds of files can you upload?

Common document types like:

* PDF files (`.pdf`)
* Word documents (`.docx`, `.doc`)
* Text files (`.txt`)
* And other similar documents

## How to upload a file (step by step)

**1. Go to the chat** where you want to ask about the file.

**2. Find the upload button.**

Next to the message box at the bottom there is an **upload** or **attach** icon (usually a paperclip or a small plus). Click it.

**3. Choose your file.**

Pick the document from your computer and let it upload.

**4. Ask your question.**

Now type a question about the file. For example:

> Summarize this document for me.

or

> What are the main points on page 3?

**5. Send it.**

Press **Enter** or click send. The AI reads the document and answers based on what it contains.

> **Tip:** You can also just drag and drop a file into the chat window in many cases.

## What are "Knowledge Bases"?

A **Knowledge Base** is a collection of documents that the AI can look through. Instead of uploading the same file every time, you can add files to a Knowledge Base once, and then the AI can use that knowledge in your chats.

Think of it like a folder of reference books the AI can open when needed.

> 🔒 **Your knowledge is private to you.** Knowledge bases (and the documents in them) are **private to you by default**. Other users cannot see them or use them — they only become shared if you choose to share. So your uploaded documents are just for you. You can also attach your own knowledge to a folder for a project. See Folders & Projects for more.

## How to use a Knowledge Base (step by step)

**1. Open the Knowledge / Workspace area.**

Look for an entry like **Knowledge** (or **Workspace**) in the app — usually in a side menu or the main menu.

**2. Open a Knowledge Base.**

Open the Knowledge Base you want, or create a new one with a **New / Create** button.

**3. Add your files.**

Click **Add** or **Upload** and choose your documents. They are stored there.

**4. Ask about the knowledge in your chat.**

From your chat, you can reference the Knowledge Base or simply ask a question about a topic covered by those documents, and the AI will use them.

## Where can you see your files?

There is a **File Manager** where you can view, search, and delete the files you have uploaded. You can usually reach it through your profile / **Settings**, in the **Data Controls** section, under **Manage Files**.

* View a file to see its details.
* Search for a file by name.
* Delete files you no longer need.

> **Note:** If you delete a file, it is removed from the system, including from any Knowledge Base that used it. So only delete files you are sure you do not need.

## How to answer common questions

**If the user asks: "Can you read my PDF/document / how do I save a file for later?"**

> In the chat, click the upload (paperclip) icon next to the message box, choose your document, then type your question. To reuse it later, add it to a **Knowledge Base** (look for the **Knowledge** area) so the AI can use it in any chat without re-uploading. Manage files via **profile → Settings → Data Controls → Manage Files**.
