# Knowledge Base: A New Way to Manage and Chat with Your Files

The LobeHub knowledge base is now live in both the open-source edition and the Cloud edition (LobeHub.com). This release brings file management, intelligent processing, and file-based dialogue into one workflow, so teams can organize knowledge and retrieve information with less friction.

## A dedicated space for your files

We added a **Files** entry in the left sidebar that gives uploaded content a permanent home. Instead of juggling files across scattered entry points, you now keep everything in one stable location.

You can upload and store documents, images, audio, and video. LobeHub provides built-in online preview for common formats including PDF, Excel, Word, PPT, and TXT. The preview component is built on open-source foundations, with an architecture designed to expand to more file formats over time.

## Intelligent knowledge organization

You can create unlimited knowledge bases to match different scenarios, from personal reference collections to domain-focused team libraries.

After upload, files are automatically chunked and vectorized, with fragment preview available for faster inspection. The feature also integrates the **Portal** interaction pattern to support quicker preview and retrieval of file content.

The current architecture reserves room for future expansion, including planned intelligent processing for multimedia files such as audio, images, and video.

## Ready to use, wherever you deploy

Knowledge base features work out of the box:

- Upload files directly inside the dialogue box with an intuitive flow
- Clear progress feedback during uploads
- Available in both open-source self-hosted edition and official Cloud edition

All features are open-sourced on the [GitHub repository](https://github.com/lobehub/lobe-chat). Visit [LobeHub Cloud](http://LobeHub.com) to experience the full functionality.
