Once a workflow has been created and documents have been processed, the next step is to review and verify the extracted data — confirm it’s correct, and fix anything that isn’t. This section is about:
  • Reviewing results
  • Verifying data
  • Correcting outputs
  • Preparing data for export or use

Two things that sound alike

It’s easy to confuse these, so to be clear:

Refining a workflow

Done while building — improves how data is extracted going forward, on every future document.

Verifying results

Done after processing — confirms whether the data extracted from a specific document is correct.
If results aren’t good enough, you can always go back and refine the workflow.
anyformat learns from your verifications and corrections over time to improve future results.
This section focuses on verifying results, not on editing the workflow.

Table view

Reviewing data at scale

The table view lets you review all extracted data across documents. The first tab shows your documents, where you’ll see:
  • One row per document
  • One column per field in the schema
  • Metadata such as creation date, processed date, and who verified it
Alongside the documents tab, there’s a tab for each step in your workflow (Parse, Classify, Split, Extraction, Validation), so you can review the output of each stage on its own. Table view

Table actions

From the table view, you can:
  • Run the workflow on unprocessed documents
  • Download processed results (CSV, Excel, JSON)
  • Delete selected documents
  • Open a document in the document view (click its filename)
  • Download results per document (row-level export)
You can select one or multiple documents to apply actions.

Working with columns

In the table view you can:
  • Reorder columns
  • Resize columns
  • Sort by any column
  • Filter by any column
  • Search by document or field value
This makes it easy to spot errors, find edge cases, and focus review where it matters.

Objects in table view

Fields of type Object (Subtable) — like invoice line items — appear as their own table. Expand the object to see every row laid out together, so you can review repeated data on its own. Objects in table view

Document view

Reviewing one document at a time

To open a single document, click its filename in the table. This opens the document view, designed for detailed, per-document review. The layout is similar to the workflow creation view:
  • Document viewer on one side
  • Extracted fields on the other
It has the same per-step tabs as the table view (Parse, Classify, Split, Extraction, Validation), so you can check each stage for that document. The key difference from the build screen:
Here, you are verifying final results, not changing the workflow.

Visual grounding and evidence

Each extracted value is visually linked to the document:
  • A single color highlights where the value appears in the document
  • Clicking a field highlights it in the document — and clicking an area in the document highlights the corresponding field
This helps you understand why a value was extracted.

Confidence indicators

Each field shows a confidence score — a quick signal of how sure anyformat is about that value.
  • Shown as a percentage with a colored dot
  • Explained on hover
  • Low-confidence values are the ones worth checking first
The goal is to reduce your effort by telling you where to look. See Analytics & quality for what confidence does and doesn’t mean. Confidence indicator

Verifying results

When a value is correct, you mark it as verified with the thumbs-up button. You can verify:
  • Individual fields
  • Entire documents
  • Multiple documents at once
A verified field turns green. To undo, press the thumbs-up again (or use Undo after an edit). As you verify, the document’s status updates to Verified. Verified field

Keyboard shortcuts

To speed up review:
ShortcutAction
Shift + ← / →Navigate between documents
Ctrl + EnterVerify the current document
Shift + EnterVerify and move to the next document

Correcting outputs

When a value is incorrect, just edit it. The corrected value is saved as the verified result, so what you export reflects your fix. For Object (Subtable) fields you can verify individual rows or the whole object. You can also add new rows, or filter to show only the rows visible on the current page.
