# Smart Classification

Smart Classification is an AI-powered feature that automatically suggests a document name, date, and destination folder for documents you upload. It reduces the time spent manually organising documents after upload.

## Using Smart Classification

1. Open your matter and click **Actions** in the top right corner of the Documents tab.
2. Select **Add Documents**
3. Under **Upload to**, select **Smart Classification** from the dropdown
4. Drag and drop your documents into the upload area or select them from your computer
5. Click **Upload**

**Note**: The system will automatically apply Optical Character Recognition (OCR) to your documents during the upload process.

When processing is complete, a notification will appear in the top right corner prompting you to review the suggestions.

## Reviewing suggestions

1. Click the notification to open the **Review Smart Document Classifications** panel.
2. For each document, you will see a suggested **Name**, **Date** and **Folder**. You can:
   - **Edit manually** — click each field to update the information
   - **Preview the document** — click the document icon on the right to verify the suggestions are accurate
   - **Accept all suggestions** — click **Validate**
   - **Reject all suggestions** — click **Discard**

Your documents will be updated and placed in the correct folders automatically.

**Bulk selecting or unselecting suggestions**

When reviewing suggestions, you can choose to accept or reject suggestions by column rather than document by document. Tick or untick the **Name**, **Date** or **Folder** checkbox in the header row to select or unselect all suggestions in that column.

For example, unticking the **Name** column will keep the original file names for all documents while still accepting the Date and Folder suggestions.
