Import files

Overview

The new Import Files as Native Content feature lets you convert a PDF document into an Elium article.

Once imported, your files become native articles that benefit from all Elium features: workflows (approval, expiration date, etc.), collaborative editing, and improved indexing for search and AI.

Benefits

• Use Elium features: workflows, alerts, enriched blocks.

• Optimise search: native content is better indexed and more accessible to AI.

• Save time: import PDF documents directly without manual copy-paste.

How to import

1. Click on the Create button (just like for a new article).

2. In the menu, select From a file.

3. In the window that opens, upload one or several PDF files (drag & drop or select from your computer).

4. The file(s) will automatically be processed by AI. This may take a few minutes.

• You can close the window while the process runs.

• Your imports will remain available in the Import Table (see below).

Once the conversion is complete:

• The Elium editor will automatically open with the transcription of your PDF.

• You can edit the content, add special blocks (media, highlights, etc.), and publish the article once it’s ready.

Import Table

All your imports are centralised in the My Content > Import tab.

This table allows you to:

• View the list of imported files.

• Track their status (in progress, completed, error).

• Easily find imports that take longer to process.
