Global Context

Documents you upload here become shared context across Orbit, so Chat can draw on them wherever you are working — you do not need to attach them to each conversation.

Opening the page

  1. Click your avatar at the bottom of the left rail and choose Settings.
  2. Under ORGANIZATION, select Global Context.
The Global Context page with the Use for Chat switch, a search box, an Upload button, and a table of uploaded files.
The Global Context page with one processed document.

Uploading documents

There are two ways to add files:

  • Click Upload and pick one or more files.
  • Drag files from your desktop and drop them anywhere on the page.
Supported formats

PDF and DOCX. You can select several files at once.

After upload, Orbit processes each document before it can be used. Follow progress in the Status column.

StatusMeaning
InitThe file has been received and is queued.
RunningOrbit is processing the document.
CompletedProcessing finished. The document is now part of your global context.
FailedProcessing did not succeed. The Reason column explains why.

Use for Chat

The switch at the top right shows whether your global context is active in Chat. It turns on automatically once you have at least one document here, and off when the list is empty — it is an indicator rather than a control you set yourself.

Managing your files

ControlWhat it does
SearchFilters the list by file name. Press Enter to apply, or clear the box to show everything again.
DownloadDownloads your original file.
DeleteRemoves the document from your global context. Available once a file has finished processing or has failed.

Deleting a document takes it out of the context Chat draws on. Upload it again if you need it back.
