# Documents

Documents management in GLPI allows to store digital documents or web links sorted under different headings.

A document is described by a **name** and an **comment** and can be associated to a **heading**.

The file corresponding to the document can be added in several ways:

* From local disk;
* Using a web link pointing to a document (image, HTML page, PDF...);
* Using a file previously transferred with FTP to sub-folder */files/\_uploads/* of GLPI installation

A MIME type can also be given.

{% hint style="info" %}
\* Document types authorized in GLPI according to their extension are defined in **Setup** > **Dropdowns** > **Management** > **Document types** To see the different types of files that can be downloaded, go to [this section](https://github.com/glpi-network/gitbook/blob/develop/manual/modules/management/documents.html#downloadable-file-types) \* Document headings can be hierarchical \* The option **Blacklisted for import** allows to exclude this document from import by collectors; it is useful for signature images, logos...

## History

The *History* tab is used to show any changes made to an item. The following information about the changes is available:

* ID of the change.
* Date and time the change was made.
* User who made the change. If this field is not filled, it means that the action was done automatically (For example: automatic inventory update).
* Field that was changed.
* Description of the change that was made.

The description of the change represents either the difference between the old and the new value (For example with location field: Change HQ to Remote Office A), or the explanation of the action which was carried out (For example: Uninstallation of a software: "Gimp 2.0").

{% hint style="info" %}
For dropdowns or objects with a parent/child relationship, the modification of a child will appear in the history of the parent element.

## All Information

For an item, all information is displayed on one page from the *All* tab. This shows all of the tabs of an object's form in one view, one below the other.
