Documents & Files
In SKH files live within the hierarchy Workspace → Page → Folder → File. You can upload single files manually, sync entire folders from OneDrive, Google Drive or SharePoint, or import web content via URL.
Supported formats
Documents
- PDF – With layout and OCR detection (scanned PDFs are processed automatically).
- Microsoft Office – Word, Excel, PowerPoint.
- Plain text – TXT, Markdown, CSV.
Images
JPG, PNG, WEBP, GIF, BMP. SKH recognises image content automatically and makes it searchable – including images embedded inside PDFs.
Audio
MP3, WAV, M4A, OGG, FLAC. Audio is transcribed automatically and the resulting text is indexed like a normal document.
Video
MP4, MOV, MKV, AVI, WEBM, FLV, WMV, M4V, 3GP. Videos are transcribed, speakers identified and key scenes extracted.
File status
In the file list, a coloured badge shows the current state of a file:
| Badge | Meaning |
|---|---|
| Pending | In queue |
| Processing (or Processing Video) | Currently being prepared |
| Indexed | Done – available to AI search |
| Failed | Processing failed |
For Failed files, the action menu offers an option to retry indexing.
Uploading files
Drag-and-drop or browse
- Open a page or folder inside a workspace.
- Drag files onto the main area or click Upload.
- You can pick any number of files at once. Upload progress appears at the bottom.
URL import
Import URL lets SKH pull content directly from the web:
- HTML pages are crawled and made searchable.
- Directly linked PDF / Office / media files are downloaded and processed normally.
Useful for public documentation, whitepapers or news articles you don't want to download manually.
Cloud sync
Under Settings → Integrations you connect OneDrive, Google Drive or SharePoint and pick a folder as the source for a page. Source-side changes are pulled in automatically. Details: Integrations.
How SKH prepares a file
When a file is processed, it automatically goes through these steps:
- Read – Text and metadata are read per format (PDFs with layout/OCR, Office natively, audio/video transcribed, images via vision recognition).
- Split – Longer content is split into semantically meaningful pieces so context isn't lost.
- Index – Each section is turned into a searchable form and stored in your organisation's knowledge base.
- Available – Once the status flips to Indexed, the file is reachable from the AI.
Your knowledge-base storage usage is shown under Billing → Usage.
Organising files
Folders
A folder is a pure grouping unit inside a page. Folders can be nested. They have no permissions of their own – they inherit from the page.
Move & rename
Select one or more files and use the More menu:
- Rename – Changes the display name; content stays the same.
- Move to another folder – For tidying up.
- Move to another page – Moves the file across pages.
Preview
Clicking a filename opens the detail page:
- PDF – Built-in viewer with page selector.
- Office formats – Converted preview.
- Images – Original preview plus extracted description.
- Audio / Video – Player plus transcript.
Per-file activity
On the detail page of a file or page, SKH shows inline who changed what and when. Useful for checking whether an item is up to date or who produced it.
Global search
Ctrl/Cmd + K opens global search. Depending on your role, it searches:
- Owner / Admin / users with workspace access – Files, pages, folders, workspaces, chats and messages.
- Members without workspace access – Only their own chats and messages.
Hits are categorised by type; a click navigates directly to the item.
Deleting
Deleting a file:
- Removes the file with preview and metadata from SKH.
- Removes it immediately from AI search.
- For synced folders (OneDrive, Google Drive, SharePoint, Dalux) the source-side original is unchanged; only the SKH copy is removed.
There is currently no trash bin. Deletions are immediate and permanent. For synced folders, the source-side copy remains as a safety net.
Best practices
- One page per topic – Don't dump "all contracts" into a single huge page. One page per contract type or customer yields more precise AI answers.
- Descriptive filenames –
2024_Lease_Acme.pdfis much better thanscan001.pdf; the AI uses filenames as a signal. - Quality scans – OCR is good but not magic. High-resolution scans give better results than blurry phone photos.
- Check status – Before chatting, confirm that all relevant files are marked Indexed.
- Keep synced folders fresh – If you use OneDrive, keep the regular sync jobs running, otherwise the knowledge base goes stale.
