Understanding index
Documents in project folders are read more deeply than the regular index, to pull out summaries, entities and decisions.
- Turn it on in Settings › Indexing › "Understanding index".
- It applies only to documents inside folders assigned to a project.
- Manage progress with "Continue AI indexing" and "Redo all AI indexing" on the folder screen.
Project status summaries (Living view)
On the project screen, open "Project report", then "Weekly report" or "Project briefing". They're built from project knowledge already gathered, so opening them uses no AI allowance. Use "Export to PDF" to share.
Ask within a project
In Ask your documents, set the scope to "Choose project" to get answers from that project's documents only.
