# Selecting and viewing files

Selecting files in Jurisphere allows you to manage and process multiple documents at once, whether it’s organizing them or using them with the platform’s AI-powered tools.

***

### Step-by-Step Guide

1. Go to your Folder pane - click on 'Browse files' in the top left of the navigation bar.
2. Locate the file(s) you want to select.
3. To the **left of each file name**, you’ll see a small **round circle** <img src="/files/kHsdik8kHfYtmBPLEd0h" alt="" data-size="line">.
4. **Click on the circle** to select a file — the circle will turn into a <mark style="color:blue;">**blue tick**</mark> once selected <img src="/files/6mAfsYm8ly2o3YFBiES5" alt="" data-size="line">.
5. You can select multiple files by clicking on their circles one by one.
6. To select **all files in a folder**, click the **circle to the left of the folder(s)**.

{% hint style="success" %}
Clicking on the name of the file automatically **selects and opens the file for viewing**.
{% endhint %}

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://help.jurisphere.ai/file-upload-and-management/your-files-and-documents/selecting-and-viewing-files.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
