The document view#
Opening a document shows its title, a summary and key takeaways where they have been generated, and the source itself in the viewer - a PDF reader, a web page, a video or audio player with transcript, or the extracted text, depending on what the document is. Use Save to investigation to keep the document with an active line of research.
Arriving from a citation#
A citation you clicked through opens the document itself, not a transcription of it. For a PDF the reader opens at the cited page with the passage highlighted and scrolled into view, and the passage is quoted above the viewer as well.
Every document also carries an extracted text: a machine reading of the file that the portal searches and that you can copy from. It is folded away under the viewer behind a Show extracted text switch, so the document stays the thing you read. Turn the switch on to open it, and off to put it away again; jumping to a match from the Matches in this document list opens it for you. If the PDF itself cannot be displayed, the extracted text is shown straight away, since it is then the only reading available.
Chatting with one document#
The Chat with this document panel lets you ask questions of a single document. The answer is grounded only on that document's content, so it is a focused way to interrogate one report without the rest of the corpus getting in the way. Suggested questions such as "Summarise the key findings" give you a quick start, and the same citations and confidence signals apply.
