Uploading Files
How to upload files into a Qolaba chat, supported formats, and how to view and manage your upload history.
Upload files directly into a chat to give the LLM immediate context for that session. Qolaba processes your uploaded content using RAG (Retrieval-Augmented Generation), allowing the model to retrieve and reference relevant sections from your documents throughout the conversation.
Supported File Types
Reports, research, documentation
CSV
Structured data, exports
Excel (.xlsx)
Spreadsheets, datasets
DOCX
Briefs, SOPs, brand guidelines
TXT
Notes, plain-text instructions
Images
Visual references, screenshots
Uploading a File to Chat
Step 1 — Open a chat in your workspace.
Step 2 — Click the attachment icon or the Plus (+) icon in the prompt input area.
Step 3 — Select your file from your system or drag and drop it into the chat.
Step 4 — Wait for the upload to complete. The file name appears in the input area confirming it is attached.
Step 5 — Enter your prompt and send. The LLM will reference the uploaded file when generating its response.
Once uploaded, the file remains active as context for the entire chat session — you do not need to keep it selected or re-attach it with each prompt.
Viewing and Managing Uploaded Files
All files uploaded across your workspace — from chat sessions, Knowledge Bases, and other activities — are stored centrally in the Files section of the left navigation panel. This acts as a single repository for all your uploaded resources, making it easy to track, preview, and reuse files without uploading them again.
To access:
Go to the left navigation panel
Click the File icon
Inside, you can view the complete history of uploaded files including PDFs, DOCX, TXT, images, CSV, and other supported types.
Previewing a File
Click the file name to open a preview. Use this to verify content before reusing a file in a new chat or Knowledge Base.
Deleting a File
Click the Delete option next to the file to remove it from your upload history.
If the file is currently used inside a Knowledge Base, deleting it from upload history will affect that Knowledge Base. Review dependencies before deleting.
