# Upload Documents
**Upload Documents**
The **Upload Documents** step is the first stage in configuring a Flexi Form Template. In this step, you upload the actual document(s) that will be used for signing during transactions created from this template.
Unlike Fixed Form templates, Flexi Form templates use the uploaded document as the final signing document, with predefined fields and signature placements that remain reusable across multiple transactions.
***
**To upload documents:**
1. Drag and drop your file(s) directly into the upload area, or click **Browse Files** to select them from your local system.
2. Supported formats: PDF, DOC, DOCX, XLS, XLSX — up to 10 documents, with a combined size limit of 20 MB.
3. Uploaded documents appear in the panel on the right, listed in the order they were added.
***
**Managing Uploaded Documents**
Once uploaded, each document is listed on the right side of the screen with its name, page count, and action icons. From here you can:
* **Rename** a document using the edit (pencil) icon.
* **Remove** a document using the delete (trash) icon if it is no longer needed.
The total upload size is displayed at the top of the list, so you can track usage against the 20 MB limit.
***
**IsFlexiform Toggle**
The **IsFlexiform** toggle is displayed at the top-right of the documents panel and must remain **ON** (enabled) when setting up a Flexi Form Template. This ensures that the uploaded document is treated as the base signing document with reusable fields and predefined signature placements, rather than a reference layout used only for configuration.
***
**Key Notes**
* The uploaded document(s) serve as the base signing document for the Flexi Form Template.
* Fields and signature placeholders defined on this document are reusable across multiple transactions.
* When initiating a signing process using a Flexi Form Template, the document is not re-uploaded — the template's document is used directly.
***
**What Happens Next?**
Once your documents are uploaded, click **Next** to proceed to the **Add Participants** step, where you will define signatories, their roles, and the signing order. Fields and components will then be added to make the document dynamic and reusable across multiple signing journeys.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.
Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:
```
GET https://support.emsigner.com/initiate-and-sign-envelopes/using-templates/creating-and-managing-templates/configure-a-flexi-form-template/upload-documents.md?ask=&goal=
```
`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.
The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.
Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
