Document Library Guide

Upload and manage your reference documents with ContentPod's Document Library. Your files provide context to every AI content tool so generated output is more accurate, specific, and on-brand.

Quick start

1. Open the tool: Go to AI Tools → Document Library (labeled "Document Library" in the tool menu)
2. Upload files: Click to browse — select one or more files
3. Organize: Tag and name documents for easy retrieval
4. Use everywhere: Your documents appear as context options in the Blog Writer, Social Generator, FAQ Generator, and other tools

Supported file types

Maximum file size: 25 MB per file. Upload multiple files at once.

What the Document Library does

Primary purpose — AI context: Your uploaded documents serve as reference material for ContentPod's AI tools. When you click "Add from Documents" in any generator, the AI reads your files and uses them to produce more accurate, specific content.

On-demand analysis (optional, 1 credit): Click the 🔍 analyze button on any document to generate:

• Summary of the document
• Key topics identified
• Main takeaways
• Content type detection
• Suggested use cases

Analysis is per-document and on-demand — it is not automatic.

How to use documents across ContentPod

In the Blog Writer

1. Open the Blog Writer
2. In the Context field, click "Add from Documents"
3. Select relevant files (product specs, research, notes)
4. Generate — the AI will reference your documents for accuracy

In the Social Media Generator

1. Open the Social Media Generator
2. Click "Add from Documents" in the Additional Context section
3. Select brand guidelines or campaign briefs

In the FAQ Generator

This same pattern works in the Guide Generator, Email Generator, and Refine with AI.

Common use cases

Best practices

Preparing documents

• ✅ Remove confidential or sensitive information before uploading
• ✅ Ensure text is selectable (not scanned images without OCR)
• ✅ Name files clearly (e.g., "Product_Features_v3.pdf")
• ✅ Keep documents focused on a single topic where possible

Organizing your library

• By topic: Marketing, Sales, Product, Support
• By type: Research, Specs, Brand Guidelines
• By project: Campaign name, product launch, quarter
• Update regularly: Replace outdated docs with current versions

Privacy and security

• ✅ Your documents are private and not used to train AI models
• ✅ Encrypted storage with secure file handling
• ✅ Only you (and your team members) can see your uploads
• ✅ Delete anytime — files are permanently removed

Best practice: Don't upload files containing passwords, API keys, or highly sensitive PII.

Workflow integration

The Document Library works best as a foundational step. Upload your reference materials first, then every tool in ContentPod can leverage them:

1. Upload docs to the Document Library ← you are here
2. Create a Persona with the Persona Generator
3. Generate content with Blog Writer, FAQ Generator, or Guide Generator
4. Refine with AI Content Editor
5. Optimize with SEO Content Optimizer

Troubleshooting

Upload failed?

• Check file is .txt, .md, .pdf, .doc, or .docx
• Verify file is under 25 MB
• Ensure the file isn't corrupted — try a different format

Analysis not what you expected?

• Document may contain mostly images (use OCR first)
• Try a simpler format like .txt
• Analysis is AI-generated; use it as a starting point

Can't find an uploaded document?

• Use the search bar to search by name or tag
• Verify the upload completed (check for the document in the list)
