ℹSpreadsheet tips — table structure is preserved for better AI answers about your data

→Organize before uploading — create categories first, then add documents to keep things tidy
→Wait for processing — documents need a few seconds to be converted and indexed before you can chat about them
→Check document quality — if AI answers seem off, the source file may have poor text extraction
→Use native formats — Word, Excel, and PowerPoint files often provide better text extraction than scanned PDFs
