Key concepts you’ll learn here

Before diving in, it helps to understand a few core ideas:
  • Files - The documents you upload
  • Schemas - The structure of the data you want
  • Fields - Individual pieces of information (date, amount, name…)
  • Workflows - Repeatable processes to extract and validate data
  • Outputs - The structured results you use elsewhere
Don’t worry, we’ll explain each one step by step.
