Once documents have been processed, review and verify the extracted data. Confirm what is correct, and fix what is not. This section is about:
  • Reviewing results
  • Verifying data
  • Correcting outputs
  • Preparing data for export or use

Two things that sound alike

These two are easy to confuse:

Refining a workflow

You do this while building. It improves extraction going forward, on every future document.

Verifying results

You do this after processing. It confirms whether the data from a specific document is correct.
If results are not good enough, go back and refine the workflow. anyformat learns from your verifications and corrections over time, and improves future results. This section covers verifying results, not editing the workflow.

Table view

Reviewing data at scale

The table view shows all extracted data across documents. The first tab shows your documents:
  • One row per document
  • One column per field in the schema
  • Metadata such as creation date, processed date, and who verified it
Alongside it sits one tab per node: Parse, Classify, Split, Extraction, Validation. Review each node’s output on its own. Table view

Table actions

From the table view:
  • Run the workflow on unprocessed documents
  • Download processed results as CSV, Excel, or JSON
  • Delete selected documents
  • Open a document in the document view by clicking its filename
  • Download results per document, a row-level export
Select one document or many, then apply the action.

Working with columns

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

Objects in table view

A field of type Object (Subtable), such as invoice line items, appears as its own table. Expand the object to see every row laid out together, and review the 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 carries the same per-node tabs as the table view: Parse, Classify, Split, Extraction, Validation. Check each node for that document. One thing differs from the build screen:
Here, you are verifying final results, not changing the workflow.
Document results view

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 matching field
This shows you why a value was extracted.

Confidence indicators

Each field shows a confidence score: a 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
It reduces your effort by telling you where to look. Confidence & accuracy covers what confidence does and does not mean. Confidence indicator

Verifying results

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

To speed up review:

Correcting outputs

When a value is incorrect, edit it. anyformat saves the corrected value as the verified result, so your export carries the fix. For an Object (Subtable) field, verify individual rows or the whole object. Add new rows, or filter to show only the rows on the current page.
