Document View Tabs
Work With Documents
Understanding the different views in the document viewer
When you open a document, you can view it in different ways: Extracted Data, JSON, XML, and History.
Where to find tabs
1. Open a document from the Document Inbox.
2. In the split view, look at the top of the right panel for Extracted Data, JSON, and XML. History shows the document timeline.

The Data tab (default) shows your extracted fields and tables in an easy-to-read format. This is where you:
- View extracted values
- Edit values by clicking cells
- Approve or reject documents (if using Reviews & Approvals)
This is the main tab you'll use for reviewing and editing.
JSON tab
The JSON tab shows the raw extracted data in a structured format. This is useful for:
- Understanding the exact data structure when setting up integrations
- Debugging extraction issues
- Seeing how data is organized before it's exported
When to use: If you're connecting to other systems or need to see the exact data format, the JSON tab shows it in a structured way.

The XML tab shows the extracted data as XML. Use it when another system needs XML or when you want to inspect the XML before downloading or copying it.
The XML tab includes controls to copy or download the result.
History tab
The History tab shows a timeline of what happened to the document:
- When it was uploaded
- When it was processed
- When it was approved or rejected
- When it was assigned or reassigned
- When it was re-processed
- Who performed each action
When to use:
- To see what happened to a document over time
- To track changes and approvals
- To debug issues (see when processing failed or succeeded)
Tips
- Data tab: Use this for everyday review and editing
- JSON tab: Use when you need the raw data structure
- XML tab: Copy or download the extracted data as XML
- History tab: Check this to see what happened to a document
