# Adding Documents and Questions

> Populate your sheet with documents and questions to generate answers.

Once a sheet is created, you populate it by adding **documents** (rows) and **questions** (columns). Each cell is then filled automatically.

## Adding documents

Documents form the rows of a sheet. Each document in a row represents one set of answers for all of the sheet's questions.

There are two ways to add documents to a sheet: by manually selecting them, or by describing what you want in plain language and having the most relevant ones selected intelligently.

### Add by Selection

1. Open the sheet in the sheet editor.
2. Click **Add Documents** in the sheet header and choose **Add by Selection**.
3. A document picker panel slides open showing your project's document library.
4. Select one or more documents and click **Done**.

<Tip>
  You can use the search and filter tools inside the document picker to find specific documents, including folder navigation.
</Tip>

### Add by Query

Use a natural language description to automatically surface the most relevant documents from your project library.

1. Click **Add Documents** in the sheet header and choose **Add by Query**.
2. A dialog opens with a text area. Describe the documents you want to add — for example, *"financial statements and auditor reports"*.
3. Press **Enter** (or click **Add Documents**) to submit.

Every document in your project is evaluated against your description — considering each document's filename and summary — and the best matches are added automatically. A confirmation toast shows how many documents were added.

<Tip>
  Add by Query is especially useful when your project contains many documents and you want to populate a sheet quickly without browsing through the full library.
</Tip>

The selected documents appear as new rows in the sheet. Answer cells begin generating immediately for any questions already in the sheet.

## Adding questions (document sheets)

Questions form the columns of a sheet. Each question is asked against every document in the sheet.

1. Click the **+ Add Question** button in the column header area of the sheet.
2. A new column appears with its header in edit mode. Type your question and press **Enter** to confirm.
3. The new column is added and answer cells begin generating for all documents already in the sheet.

You can rename a question at any time by clicking its column header.

## Cell processing states

After adding documents or questions, cells are generated asynchronously. Each cell shows a status indicator in its row checkbox column:

| Indicator              | Status                                |
| ---------------------- | ------------------------------------- |
| Clock icon             | Pending — queued for processing       |
| Spinning orange circle | Processing — actively being generated |
| Green checkmark        | Ready — answer is available           |
| Red X                  | Error — generation failed             |

The sheet polls for updates automatically while cells are being processed.

## Viewing answers

* Click a **document name** in the first column to open the document in the side-by-side viewer, where you can read the source material alongside the sheet. PDFs and other documents open in the standard viewer; Excel files open in an interactive spreadsheet viewer.
* Hover over a cell with a long answer to see the full text in a tooltip.

## Column resizing

Drag the edge of any column header to resize it. Resized column widths are saved automatically.

## Removing documents or questions

* **Remove a document (row):** Select the row checkbox and use the row actions menu to remove it from the sheet.
* **Remove a question (column):** Click the column header actions and select **Remove**.
