These widgets allow users to upload, organize, preview, and edit files of virtually any format — from images and Office documents to PDFs, scientific structure files, and plasmid maps — without leaving the record context. Supporting features such as drag-and-drop upload, file versioning, real-time antivirus scanning, mobile image cropping, and sign-and-lock protection make these widgets suitable for both everyday documentation and regulated laboratory workflows. ## Widgets * [Files](/widgets/section-widgets/office/file/files.md) - Attach, preview, edit, and manage files with versioning and antivirus support * [File Preview](/widgets/section-widgets/office/file/file-preview.md) - Render an inline preview of a single uploaded file within the files table * [Local Files](/widgets/section-widgets/office/file/local-files.md) - Access and manage large files stored on a local disk or NAS through the Labii desktop app --- # Agent Instructions This documentation is published with GitBook.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter: ``` GET https://docs.labii.com/widgets/section-widgets/office/file.md?ask=&goal= ``` `ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language. `goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal. The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation. Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
