# File

## Overview

The File widgets provide comprehensive file management capabilities within Labii's ELN and LIMS. 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.
