# Welcome to the Data Library

## Overview

The Data Library is your team's central home for the documents and records GovDash uses across the platform. Upload capability statements, resumes, technical documents and more, and GovDash reads each one, sorts it by document type and links it to the people, companies, agencies and contracts it mentions. Dash and Proposal then use this content when they write for you.

To open it, select **Data Library** under **Platform** in the left side panel. The tabs at the top hold your **Documents**, **People**, **Companies**, **Agencies**, **Forms** and **Agreements**. For a quick summary of everything you've uploaded, see the [Data Library Dashboard](/v1/docs/uploading-documents#data-library-dashboard).

Use this page as your starting point. Find the task you want to do, then open its article.
