You need a clear view of every document in your case, organized the way you uploaded them. The uploads tab is the default view in the document browser. It lists your documents by folder grouping, with file type icons, processing status badges, and a three-dot file actions menu on each row. Click any document to open it in the document viewer and begin your review.
What you see in the uploads tab
When you open a case, the uploads tab appears as the default view in the document browser panel. It lists your uploaded documents, organized by upload batch. Each row shows the document name and a file type icon (PDF, email, spreadsheet, image, and so on). A status badge indicates whether the document has finished processing and is ready for review.
If you know the document name, scan the list or use the toolbar search to find it. If you want to browse by category or metadata instead, switch to the table of contents tab instead.
Your folder structure stays intact
Documents in the uploads tab keep the folder structure you uploaded them with. If you uploaded a ZIP archive or a folder from your computer, the directory layout appears inside the document browser. Expand and collapse folder groups to focus on what matters.
Email messages with attachments also show a parent-child relationship. The email appears as a parent row, and its attachments nest underneath so you can see at a glance which documents belong together as a family. Review an email alongside its attachments without losing context.
What each document row tells you
Each row in the uploads tab shows you several details at a glance:
- Document name - The original file name as uploaded. You can rename documents later through the file actions menu.
- File type icon - An icon for the file format: PDF, Word document, email, image, spreadsheet, or media file. You can identify document types without reading extensions.
- Processing status - Shows whether the document has finished processing. Documents still processing display a progress indicator. Once complete, the document is ready for viewing, searching, and AI analysis.
- Actions button - A three-dot menu button that opens the full file actions menu. From there you can view, download, tag, redact, and more.
Opening a document for review
Click any document row to open it in the document viewer (center panel of the case interface). Supported documents render for in-browser display: PDFs display as scrollable pages, images render inline, email messages show formatted headers and body text, and media files provide playback controls. For file types that cannot display in the browser, a download option is available.
The currently open document is highlighted in the uploads tab so you always know which document you are viewing. Click a different document at any time to switch.
Document families: parents and children
Some document types form parent-child relationships called document families. The most common example is an email message with attachments. When you upload an email file (.eml or .msg), Hintyr extracts any attachments and nests them under the parent email in the uploads tab. Expand the parent to see all attachments listed beneath it, indented to show the family relationship.
This nesting preserves context during review. Instead of searching for an attachment separately, you find it right under the email that contained it. The parent email and each attachment are individually actionable: you can tag, redact, or Bates-stamp them independently.
