Last updated:July 23, 2026

Common questions about Insert Local File usually focus on supported formats, collaborator visibility, and whether changes to the original file affect inserted content; this section covers 3 frequent questions.

FAQ

What local file formats can I insert?

  1. You can insert image files such as JPG, PNG, GIF, and WebP.
  2. You can also insert video files and common document formats.
  3. Images display directly in the document, while other files are usually embedded as attachments.

Can collaborators see the file after I insert it?

  1. Inserted content is uploaded before it is used in collaborative viewing.
  2. After the upload is complete, collaborators can usually view the related content in the document.
  3. For large video files, wait until the upload finishes before asking others to review it.

If I change the original local file later, will the inserted content change too?

  1. After a file is inserted into a Smart Doc, it becomes an independent cloud copy.
  2. Later changes to the original file on your phone do not directly change the inserted content in the document.
  3. If you need updated content, insert the newer file version again.
