Whether you're managing multiple course papers, working on a multi-chapter thesis, or helping colleagues with their documents, Formatly's document management features help you stay organized.
## Document Dashboard
Your Formatly dashboard provides a central hub for all your documents:
### Document List
View all your processed documents with key details:
- Document title and type
- Formatting style used
- Processing date and time
- Quality score
- Download status
### Search and Filter
Find specific documents quickly:
- Search by title or content
- Filter by style (APA, MLA, Chicago, etc.)
- Filter by date range
- Sort by any column
### Batch Actions
Manage multiple documents at once:
- Select multiple documents for batch download
- Archive old documents
- Clear document history
## Multiple Document Workflow
### Course Management
Create separate documents for each course. Format them all at once using batch processing for consistent results.
### Thesis Chapters
Upload each chapter separately or as a complete document. Formatly handles both approaches, maintaining style consistency across chapters.
### Collaborative Projects
If you're formatting documents for study group members or colleagues, manage all documents from your account with clear naming for attribution.
## Best Practices
1. Use descriptive document names (include style and date)
2. Process documents soon after writing
3. Review tracked changes promptly
4. Archive documents after final submission
5. Clear history periodically to stay organized
## Storage and History
Formatly maintains a processing history that includes:
- Original document metadata
- Style and processing options
- Quality score
- Processing date and time
Documents themselves are not stored permanently. Download and save your formatted documents locally after processing.
