# Files

> Upload and manage file-based data sources.

The **Files** data source allows you to upload documents directly to your GIDR for ingestion and processing.

## Connect Data source

1. Select **Data Sources** > **+ Add**.
2. Choose **Files** as the source type.

3. Drag and drop your files or click to upload. Supported formats include PDF, HTML, Markdown, Word, PowerPoint, Audio, and Video (max 100 MB).

## Managing Files

Once uploaded, your files will appear in the list view.

### Processing Status

Initially, files may appear as **Queued** or **Processing**.

When ingestion is complete, the status changes to **Processed**.

### Reprocessing Files

You can modify ingestion parameters for any file and re-process it.

1. Change editable parameters such as **Processing type** (e.g., from **Text** to **Image**).
2. Adjust other settings like **Chunk size**, **Chunk overlap**, or **Language** as needed.
3. Click the **Play** button (triangle icon) to trigger re-ingestion with the new settings.

<Note>
  The available parameters and their effects are detailed in the [Ingestion Settings](../info/ingestion-settings) page.
</Note>

## Chunk Manager

For processed files, you can view and edit the generated chunks to fine-tune retrieval accuracy.

1. Click the **Chunk Manager** link (or gear icon) next to a processed file.
2. Review individual chunks, their enabled status, and metadata.

### Editing Chunks

You can toggle a chunk's **Enabled** status to include or exclude it from retrieval. You can also view metadata such as character count and source file details.

### Image Processing View

When a file is processed using the **Image** processing type, the system uses a vision model to analyze the layout and content.

<img src="https://mintcdn.com/gidrai/tGsSOYP36yYHS_h9/docs/images/gidr/files_chunk_view_image_mode.png?fit=max&auto=format&n=tGsSOYP36yYHS_h9&q=85&s=c5b9a7640044d4565e179447d8949599" style={{ width: 'auto', maxWidth: '100%' }} alt="Image Processing Chunk View" width="1024" height="636" data-path="docs/images/gidr/files_chunk_view_image_mode.png" />

The Chunk Manager displays a **side-by-side view**:

* **Left panel**: Shows the original page image.
* **Right panel**: Displays the generated description and extracted data.

This allows you to verify the AI's interpretation of visual elements (charts, diagrams) against the source document while editing the chunks.
