# Documents

> Uploading files and connecting a SharePoint location

Every assessment reads from a set of source documents, managed on its **Evidence & Runs** tab.

## Adding documents

Two ways to get documents into an assessment:

* **Upload documents** — add files directly.
* **Connect a location** — link a SharePoint folder so the platform syncs from it, rather than you uploading by hand. Once a location is connected, the assessment picks up new and changed files from it on the next sync.

The **Sources** panel shows how many locations are connected and how many documents are in scope. If nothing is connected yet, the panel says so plainly.

## Cadence

The **Cadence** panel on the same tab tells you:

* **Re-assessment** — whether the assessment runs on a schedule or only when someone starts one
* **Last synced** — when documents were last pulled from a connected location
* **Changed after the run** — whether any source document has changed since the last run, meaning the assessment's reading is behind the evidence
* **Scope** — how many of the connected documents are actually included

## Expected documents

The assessment set a workspace is assessed against can declare a list of documents it expects to see (for example, "Full Business Case", "Benefits Realisation Plan"), each marked **Mandatory** or not, with a **Category**. The table shows whether each expected document has been **Found** — and if not, lets you **Upload** or **Link from SharePoint** directly against that row.
