# Add knowledge

> Give your agent context: upload reference files it can use while it works.

Knowledge is how you give an agent **context**. Upload the documents it should work from — playbooks, policies, product notes, reference material — and the agent uses them during its runs.

## Upload files

<Steps>
  <Step title="Open the agent">
    Go to **Agents** and open the agent you want to update.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Open Knowledge">
    In the side panel, click **Knowledge**.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Upload your files">
    Drag files into the uploader or click **Browse files**.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Wait for processing to finish">
    After the upload completes, the document will appear in the list for that agent.
  </Step>
</Steps>

## Supported files

* `PDF`
* `DOCX`
* `PPT`
* `PPTX`
* `TXT`

Each file can be up to `10 MB`.

<Tip>
  **File too big to upload?** Connect the app where the file already lives (e.g., SharePoint or OneDrive) and let the agent access it there — that works for much larger files than any upload limit.
</Tip>

## Manage uploaded documents

From the document list, you can review the files attached to the agent, download a file, or delete one that is outdated.

<Warning>
  Keep the knowledge current. Outdated files can lead to outdated answers or actions.
</Warning>

<Note>
  Knowledge is not the same as [skills](/scale/skills): knowledge gives an agent **context** (facts, documents, reference material), while a skill teaches agents a reusable **procedure**. If you catch yourself uploading the same "how we do X" document to several agents, that's a skill.
