Skip to main content
The Library is the home of your Prism workspace. It lists every file you have uploaded, lets you manage them individually, and provides direct shortcuts to chat or search from any document. The Library view is the default when you log in. From any other dashboard view, click Library in the left sidebar to return to it.

Uploading documents

Switch to the Upload view in the sidebar to add files to your library.
1

Open the Upload view

Click Upload in the left sidebar.
2

Select your files

Drag and drop files directly onto the upload area, or click it to open a file picker. You can upload multiple files at once.
3

Wait for processing

Prism extracts text, splits content into semantic chunks, generates embeddings, and indexes everything in Qdrant. Larger files take a few seconds longer.
4

Return to the library

Once processing completes, you are automatically returned to the Library view where your new file appears.

Supported file types

Automatic category detection

When you upload a file, Prism automatically assigns it a category based on the filename and file extension. You do not need to categorize documents manually.
CategoryDetection rule

Name your files descriptively before uploading. A file called q3-financial-report.pdf will be correctly categorized as Financial automatically.

Managing documents

Each document in the Library has an options menu that exposes the following actions.

Renaming a document

Click the options menu on a document card and choose Rename. Enter a new name and confirm. The rename is applied both to the file in storage and to all indexed vector chunks, so search results reflect the new name immediately.
Document names must be between 1 and 255 characters.

Deleting a document

Click the options menu and choose Delete. Prism removes the file from storage and deletes all associated vector chunks from Qdrant. This action is permanent.
Deleting a document also removes its embeddings from the vector database. Any chat sessions that referenced that document will no longer be able to retrieve context from it.

Chatting with a document

Click Chat on any document card to open the AI Chat view with that document pre-selected as context. Prism will anchor RAG retrieval to chunks from that file. See RAG Chat for a full description of the chat experience.
