# Upload Document

Upload a document to a collection. Currently we support a maximum file size of 10 MB and the following content types

* PDF (.pdf)
* Plaintext (.txt)
* CSV (.csv)
* Markdown (.md)
* Microsoft Words (.docx)

{% hint style="danger" %}
Documents have to be uniquely named.  If one document is uploaded with a name that is the same as one already uploaded, it will replace that document.
{% endhint %}
