Usage Instructions

Single Document Upload:

• 1. Click the "Upload" button or drag and drop a file into the interface.
  • This action initiates the upload process. You can either use the traditional method of clicking the dedicated “Upload” button or take advantage of the more convenient drag - and - drop functionality.
• 2. Select the file to upload.
  • Navigate through your local storage to find the specific file you want to analyze. This could be a PDF, Word document, etc.
• 3. After uploading, the document content will appear on the left, and the chatbox on the right can be used to ask questions.
  • Once the upload is complete, the content of the document will be presented on the left - hand side of the interface. On the right, there's a chatbox where you can pose queries related to the document.

Multi - Document Upload:

• 1. Click the "Upload Folder" button or drag and drop a folder into the interface.
  • Similar to single - document upload, you have two options. The “Upload Folder” button provides a standard way, while drag - and - drop streamlines the process for quickly adding a group of related files.
• 2. Select the folder containing multiple files.
  • Locate the folder on your device that holds all the relevant documents for cross - analysis.
• 3. After uploading, you can query across all documents simultaneously.
  • Once the folder is uploaded, you can perform queries that will consider the content of all the documents within the folder at once.

URL Upload:

• 1. Click the "Upload Files through URL" button.
  • This button is the entry point for uploading documents from web sources.
• 2. Paste the URL that belongs to the white - listed websites.
  • Only URLs from pre - approved (white - listed) websites are accepted. This ensures security and compatibility.
• 3. ChatDOC will automatically jump to and parse the document from the provided URL.
  • ChatDOC will access the URL, retrieve the document, and prepare it for analysis.

Example:

• Upload a single PDF research report or a folder of related papers for cross - document analysis.

Suppose you have a solo PDF research paper on a particular scientific topic. You can use the single - document upload to analyze it.

If you're researching a broader subject and have multiple related research papers, you can group them in a folder and use the multi - document upload for a more comprehensive analysis.
