Before you start
- You need Documentation read access.
- Your MSP decides which documents you can open. A direct link does not give access to a restricted document.

1
Open Documents
Open Documentation > Documents. If you can reach more than one company, check the company selector first.
2
Choose a folder
Click a folder in the folder list to narrow the results. All Documents clears the folder. Unfiled Documents shows documents with no folder.

Search by name
Type in the Name column filter. Check the other column filters if an expected document is missing. The table shows 50 documents per page. Changing the company resets the folder and filters.
4
Open the document
Click its name. The Source and Type columns tell a provider document from a portal Page or File. A paperclip means it has attachments. For an uploaded file, click Preview in the row for a quick look.
Read and navigate
The document page shows its title and, when available, its company, folder, and last update. Long articles show a table of contents (On this page) on large screens. Click a heading to jump to it, and use the page’s back control to return to Documents. An uploaded file shows on its document page. PDF, Word, CSV, and Excel files are supported. The page can show only part of a large workbook or dataset, so click Download in the page header for the complete file with its original formatting.Open or download attachments
