Three Ways to Upload Content

Storytell offers three flexible methods for adding content to your workspace, each suited to different needs.

Upload Files

Upload files directly from your computer using your system's file browser.

Supported formats: Storytell supports a wide range of file types including documents, spreadsheets, PDFs, images, and more. View the full list of Supported file types and formats.

Paste Content

Create an asset by pasting text, code, or other content directly into Storytell—no file required.

This is ideal for quickly adding snippets, notes, or content from other applications without having to create a file first.

Add URL

Import content from any public webpage by providing its URL.

Where to Upload

You can access all three upload methods from three convenient locations in Storytell.

From the Home Page

When you first open Storytell or create a new chat, you'll see upload options prominently displayed.

1. Look for the Upload files, Paste content, or Add URL options in the center of the interface

2. Click your preferred method to begin

From the Prompt Bar

Access upload options from any chat using the paperclip icon in the prompt bar.

1. Locate the paperclip icon at the bottom left of the prompt bar

2. Hover over or click the icon to reveal the three upload options

3. Select 'Upload files', 'Paste content', or 'Add URL'

From Project Knowledge

Manage all your project's assets through the Project Knowledge panel in the sidebar.

1. Open the Project Knowledge panel from the left sidebar

2. Click the upload button at the top of the panel

3. Choose from Upload files, Paste content, or Add URL

Uploading Web Pages with Images

If you need to capture webpage content including images, or access authenticated pages, use the Storytell Chrome Extension.

Why use the Chrome Extension:

• Captures complete webpage content including images

• Works with authenticated pages (behind login walls)

• Provides more comprehensive content extraction than URL uploads

Organizing Your Files

Once you've uploaded files to Storytell, keep them organized with labels for easy access and sophisticated data management.

To organize with labels:

• Apply labels to categorize your files by project, topic, or any custom taxonomy

• Create Collections that automatically include assets matching specific labels

• Filter and search your knowledge base using label combinations

Working with Concepts

After uploading files, Storytell automatically extracts concepts hidden in your data, giving you an entirely new way to interact with your information.

What are Concepts:

Concepts are key themes, entities, and ideas that Storytell identifies in your files. Once extracted, you can reference these concepts directly in your prompts, create visualizations, and generate insights without manually searching through documents.
