description: Every document the case holds in one list, with what each one is, where it stands, and the controls to file, tag and download it.
section: Filing and documents
order: 2

Open a case and choose **Documents**. It lists every document the case holds: the ones the run matched to a requirement, the ranges it matched to nothing, and documents filed under earlier runs.

## Two views

- **All documents** is one list: Priority documents first, then the rest in page order. Archived pages come last, dimmed.
- **By file** shows each uploaded file as a folder, with the documents found inside it.

Search matches a document's name or its file's name.

The header counts what the case holds, for example "40 documents · 12 need review · 6 unassigned".

| Count | What it counts |
| --- | --- |
| documents | Every document, not counting archived pages. |
| need review | Documents the run matched to a requirement that nobody has decided yet. |
| unassigned | Ranges the run matched to nothing that nobody has filed or kept yet. |

- **The first page**, as a thumbnail. Hover over it to see the page larger without opening anything.
- **The title**: the document's own name, as the run read it.
- **Its tags**, after the title: needs review, unassigned, in edit, Priority, Excluded or archived. Hover over a tag to see what it means.
- **The page count**: "17 pages" counts the document's own pages. Hover over it to see where they sit in the uploaded file, such as "Pages 12–28 of the uploaded file".
- **The second line**: where the document stands. See [how filing works](/docs/filing/how-filing-works).
- **The controls**, on the right:
  - **Approve** and **⋯** file the document. They show only until someone decides. See [file a document](/docs/filing/file-a-document).
  - **The tag icon**: Priority, Exclude from Research, Archive and Clear tag. See [tags and archive](/docs/filing/tags-and-archive).
  - **Download**: the document's saved copy as a PDF. Before anyone decides, it is the copy the run saved as it read the pages.

A document's title or thumbnail opens it in [Doc Review](/docs/filing/doc-review), on its first page.

## The same list over the API

`GET /applications/{id}/documents` returns the same documents, with the same decisions and tags. See [reading results](/docs/api/reading-results).
