A file opens in its own study space, with the original material beside Uflo’s learning tools. You can work through a document or recording, then explore its study guides or ask questions in Chat.

Open a Course File

1

Find the Material

Open your course, then choose the chapter and lesson you want to study. You can also select Files in the sidebar and choose your course from the selector.

Open the File

Select its file card. Uflo opens the viewer in another browser tab, so you can return to your course afterward.

Work With Your Material

Use the viewer’s page and zoom controls to find the passage you want to study. Annotate lets you highlight text and add comments to document pages.

Annotate is the document-reading mode. Switch to Draw when you want to sketch on the pages.

Select Draw to sketch over the pages, then return to Annotate when you want to use the reader again. If a passage needs more explanation, select it and ask Uflo about it.
Uflo saves annotations automatically as you work. Before closing the file, check that your changes have saved. If changes are still unsaved, use the viewer’s save control. If saving fails, choose Retry and wait for it to finish.

Arrange Your Study Space

Drag the divider between the material and study tools to give either side more room. Hover over the divider to reveal controls for collapsing or restoring a panel. On smaller screens, use the AI / File switch to move between them.

When reading section notes, keep them synchronized with the material. Uflo can follow your document page or recording position while Notes is open.
