# 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="https://3330719282-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-x-prod.appspot.com/o/spaces%2F2zbn28n79AjHkgxNqfPb%2Fuploads%2FB28FfnRbgXjzpjSPsxTc%2Fimage.png?alt=media&amp;token=9bbb41e2-ea55-4b6b-9fa6-fbc25e202688" 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="https://3330719282-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-x-prod.appspot.com/o/spaces%2F2zbn28n79AjHkgxNqfPb%2Fuploads%2FS6cM4jeBGGApzX2pppVj%2Fimage.png?alt=media&amp;token=40ac2fe2-7c28-42f3-8dac-b57de5794e1c" 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="info" %}
Clicking on the name of the file automatically **selects and opens the file for viewing**.
{% endhint %}

# Agent Instructions
This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.

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

Perform an HTTP GET request on the following URL with the `ask` and `goal` query parameters:

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

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is what the user is ultimately trying to achieve, the reason they need the answer. Sharing it helps GitBook give you a better, more relevant answer. A goal is most helpful when it describes the outcome the user wants rather than restating the question. For example, with `ask=how do I create an API token`, a goal like `automate deployments from our CI pipeline` lets GitBook tailor the answer to that use case.

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.
