Updated: 2026-04-03

Use the **Documents** tab when you need to review files or work with documents related to the current channel.

This is the best place to stay when the files belong to one channel and you want to browse, open, add, or organize them without leaving that channel.

## Navigation

Open a channel first, then click the **Documents** tab.

Use this tab when you want a file list that is already limited to the current channel.

## Choose a file view

The Documents tab can show files in more than one way:

- **List** is useful when you want a table-like view.
- **Grid** is useful when you want larger file cards and previews.

Some files open in a preview, while others may open in a new browser tab or download, depending on the file type.

## Open the Documents tab

1. Open a channel.
2. Click **Documents**.
3. Review the files linked to that channel.

## Find and open a file

1. Open the Documents tab.
2. Browse the list or switch views if that helps.
3. Use search if you know part of the file name.
4. Click the file you want to open.

Depending on the file, you may see a preview, a larger file page, or a new browser tab.

## Add or organize documents

From this tab, you can work with files in several ways:

- add a new file
- attach an existing file
- rename a file
- remove a file from the channel
- download or share a file

This makes it easier to keep channel files together in one place.

## Tips

- Use **List** when you want to scan names and dates quickly.
- Use **Grid** when previews help you recognize the file faster.
- Stay in this tab when the file belongs to the current channel and you may need to open related files next.
