# DocStore

#### What is DocStore and what options are available to users?

**DocStore** is emSigner’s secure document repository where users can **store, manage, and access documents associated with eSignature envelopes**. It provides a centralized view of documents across their lifecycle, enabling easy tracking, retrieval, and governance.

Users can access DocStore from the emSigner dashboard by selecting **DocStore** from the top navigation menu.

#### Key Capabilities of DocStore

* **Centralized Document Repository**\
  All documents sent or completed through emSigner envelopes are securely stored in one place.
* **Document Categorization and Indexing**\
  Documents are automatically organized and indexed, enabling quick search and efficient retrieval.
* **Envelope Status Tracking**\
  Users can view documents based on envelope status, such as:
  * Active
  * Inactive
  * Completed
  * Voided
  * Purged
* **Search and Filtering**\
  Users can filter documents by status, year, or other attributes, and search for specific envelopes or reference numbers.
* **Document Actions**\
  Depending on permissions and document status, users can view signed documents, download copies, or export document metadata for reporting.

DocStore serves as the **system of record for signed and in-progress documents**, supporting operational visibility, audit readiness, and compliance requirements.

## 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/user-dashboard-and-docstore/docstore.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`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.
