# How to Use the Document Library

## What Is the Document Library? The Documents section provides a company-wide file library. Store policies, handbooks, templates, or any reference material that your team needs access to.

#### **Key Actions**

- **Create folders** — click **New Folder** in the page header, enter a name, and confirm.
- **Upload files** — click **Upload** in the page header, or drag-and-drop files into the viewer.
- **Navigate folders** — click a folder to open it. To return to the root level, navigate back to the **Documents** page.
- **Search** — type in the search bar to find files and folders by name.
- **Switch views** — toggle between **list** and **grid** layouts. In grid mode, use the size slider in the toolbar to adjust thumbnail size.

- **Move** to another folder
- **Change colour** (folders only)
- **Delete**

#### **Forms Folder**

**Forms Folder**

 

A read-only **Forms** folder appears automatically in your Document Library. It gives you a convenient way to browse and download completed form submissions without leaving the Documents section.

**What's Inside**

 

The Forms folder organises submitted forms into a tidy hierarchy:

- **Forms** (top level)
- **Group folders** — one folder per form group (e.g. "Safety", "Induction"). Forms without a group appear under **Ungrouped**.
- **Form template folders** — inside each group, one folder per form template that has at least one submission.
- **Submission folders** — inside each template, one folder per individual submission, named with the date and the submitter's name.

Each submission folder contains:

- A **PDF export** of the completed form (generated on demand when you open or download it).
- Any **file attachments** that were uploaded as part of the submission.

**How to Use It**

- **Browse** — open the **Forms** folder from the root of the Document Library, then drill down through groups, templates, and submissions.
- **Open a PDF** — click a submission PDF to view it in a new tab. A loading spinner appears while the PDF is generated.
- **Download** — hover over a file and click the download icon, or use the right-click menu.
- **Breadcrumb navigation** — use the breadcrumb trail at the top to jump back to any level in the Forms hierarchy.

**Good to Know**

- The Forms folder is **read-only**. You cannot upload, rename, move, or delete items inside it.
- The **New Folder** and **Upload** buttons are hidden while you are inside the Forms folder.
- Items inside the Forms folder cannot be dragged to other folders.
- Only submissions you have permission to view will appear.
