# Creating a Sheet

> Create a new sheet to run questions across your project documents.

**Sheets** are a spreadsheet-style workspace where you can run questions across multiple documents simultaneously. Each cell in a sheet is an automatically generated answer, extracted from the relevant document for that row.

## Opening Sheets

Inside a project, click the **Sheets** tab in the navigation bar at the top of the project page. If no sheets have been created yet, you will see an empty state with a **Create Sheet** button.

## Creating a sheet

1. Click **Create Sheet**.
2. In the dialog that appears, choose a sheet type (see below).
3. Optionally enter a **name** and **description** for the sheet.
4. Click **Create** to confirm.

The new sheet opens immediately in the sheet editor.

## Sheet types

When creating a sheet you must choose between two types:

<CardGroup cols={2}>
  <Card title="Document Sheet" icon="file-lines">
    A document sheet runs your questions against each individual document. Each row is a document and each column is a question. Cells display the automatically extracted answer for that document and question combination.

    Best for: comparing a specific attribute across many documents.
  </Card>

  <Card title="Structured Sheet" icon="table-cells">
    A structured sheet uses user-defined **fields** to extract consistent, structured data from each document. Each row is a document and each column is a field you define.

    Best for: populating a standardised data model across a document set.
