# Overview

**Knowledge**, under **Tools** in the sidebar, is where you give agents your documents. You organize documents into **vaults**, and an agent with access to a vault can search it and answer with citations from your own material.

## Create a vault

Click **New Vault**, give it a name and an optional description, and click **Create vault**. Keep each vault to one topic, like "Sales collateral" or "Product specs", so agents search the right material.

## Add and organize files

A vault's **Files** tab holds everything in it. Click **Add files** to upload documents or import them from sources like Google Drive, SharePoint, and Notion, each covered in [Adding files](/knowledge/adding-files). You can create folders, move items between them, and delete what you no longer need.

New files are processed in the background. Each file shows its status, and it becomes searchable once it reaches **Ready**.

## Vault settings

The **Settings** tab is where you manage the vault:

* **Vault info** holds the name, description, and sharing. A new vault is private to you. Share it with **My organisation** or **Specific people** to let teammates use it. Everyone with access can add and manage files, but only the owner can change sharing or delete the vault.
* **Sources** holds the settings for each source you've set up, including how often it re-syncs. See [Adding files](/knowledge/adding-files).
* **Danger zone** deletes the vault and everything in it, permanently.

## Explore the graph

Click **Explore graph** at the top of a vault to see a visual map of the people, organizations, products, and other entities mentioned across its documents. It's a quick way to check what the vault actually covers.

## Use a vault with an agent

Attach vaults to an agent from the **Knowledge** section of the agent editor, where you can also limit the agent to specific folders or files. In a chat, use the knowledge control in the message box to toggle the agent's vaults on or off for that conversation. See [Connected apps and knowledge](/agents/apps-and-knowledge).

  Processing documents into a vault consumes [credits](/getting-started/plans-and-credits).
