Sources

The Sources page is where you keep the raw material the assistant can read while it works on your project: uploaded files (PDFs, DOCX, images, plain text), external URLs (articles, datasheets, references), and patents you bookmarked from the prior art search. Everything lives in a single list and you can filter to just one kind when you need to.

Filter

Use the All / Files / Links / Patents pill row in the page header to narrow the list, or open the View menu and pick the filter from there; both stay in sync. The active filter is reflected in the URL (?type=files, ?type=links, or ?type=patents) so you can deep-link to a particular view.

Sort

Open the View menu and pick a sort under Sort by: Date added (newest first, the default), Name (alphabetical), or Size (largest files first; links and patents have no size and sort after the files). You can also click the Name, Size, or Added column headers above the list, and click an active header again to flip the direction. The sort is URL-backed via ?sort=name or ?sort=size.

Adding a file

Click Edit in the top-left corner and choose Upload file, or drag files directly onto the page from your desktop. As soon as you drag a file over the browser window, a large drop zone appears covering the content area; release anywhere inside it to upload. You can drop multiple files at once. Supported formats are PDF, DOCX, PNG, JPG, TXT, and MD, up to 25 MB per file.

How files are read

After a PDF or DOCX upload, the text is extracted to markdown in the background so the assistant can read the content (plain text and markdown files are read directly; images are passed through as-is). A scan row under the file shows the status and word count once it finishes, and View scan in the row menu lets you read the extracted text. Any figures pulled out of a document are listed alongside it. If a scan fails, use Retry scan to run it again.

Adding a link

Click Edit and choose Add link. A new row appears with an empty URL field. Type or paste the URL and press Enter (or click elsewhere). The app fetches metadata from the page (title and description) and saves them alongside the URL. You can also just paste a URL anywhere on the page while no field is focused, and it is saved as a link straight away.

Opening a source

Click anywhere on a saved row to open it: files open inline in a new browser tab, links open the URL in a new tab, and patents open in the patent detail panel.

Per-row actions

Each saved row has a menu with the actions available for that source:

• Right-click anywhere on the row to open the context menu at the cursor.
• Hover the row and click the three-dot button on the right.

Files offer Open, Download (force-download to disk), and Delete. Links offer Open and Delete. Patents offer Open and Remove.

Pending sources from the assistant

When the AI assistant suggests adding a link or attaching a file from the web, it appears as a pending change in the list. You can accept or reject each suggestion individually.
