Recent Files

Access every file generated or uploaded in your Langdock workspace from one place. Preview, download, organize, and manage files without digging through individual chats.

Recent Files shows files you create, upload, or import in Langdock. Documents, spreadsheets, presentations, files uploaded to chats or the Library, and files imported from connected integrations all appear here.

What appears in Recent Files

Recent Files shows files based on their origin:

Origin	What it includes
Generated	Documents and presentations created by Langdock in chat
Uploaded	Files uploaded directly to a conversation or the Library
Imported	Files pulled in from connected integrations

Files stored in Folders and workflow-only files are not shown here.

Recent Files follows your workspace’s chat data retention settings. When a chat is deleted, only files associated with that chat are removed from Recent Files.

Grid and list view

Toggle between grid view (thumbnails) and list view (rows with details) using the view switcher in the top-right corner of the Recent Files section. Your preference is saved automatically.

Filtering

Use the filter controls to narrow down files:

• File type: Documents, Presentations, or PDFs
• Date: Filter by creation date range
• Origin: Uploaded, Generated, or Imported

File actions

Each file has a set of actions available from its context menu or action bar:

Action	Description
Preview	Open a preview of the file
Download	Download the file; generated documents offer Word, PDF, and Markdown
Jump to chat	Open the original chat when the file came from a chat
Start chat	Open a new chat with this file attached
Move to folder	Move the file into a Folder
Delete	Remove the file permanently

File preview

Files can be previewed in these ways:

Inline thumbnail. Visible directly on each file card in grid view. Hover over a multi-page file to scrub through its pages.

Side panel. Click a file to open a resizable side panel preview without leaving the Library.

Full-screen. Open the full-screen view for a larger preview. Multi-page files (documents, presentations) show a slide thumbnail strip for quick navigation. Presentations also support a presenter mode.

Spreadsheet preview. Open spreadsheets with sheet tabs, zoom, column resizing, and formula inspection.

Batch actions

Select multiple files to enable batch actions in one of these ways:

• Shift + click to select a range of files
• In list view, hover over the list and click the checkbox in the header to select every file in the current view

Once files are selected, a bar appears at the bottom with options to:

• Download all selected files
• Move to folder: moves all selected files into a Folder at once
• Delete all selected files

Selecting all respects your active filters, so you can narrow the list by file type, date, or origin first and then apply a batch action to exactly that set.

Moving files to a Folder

From any file’s context menu, select Move to folder and choose the destination Folder. You can also drag files onto a Folder or Knowledge base, or do this in bulk using batch selection.

Once moved, the file is accessible within that Folder and can be used for AI search via @mentions in chat.
