# Upload Documents to DBs

Using documents to [Interact with Bot](/getting-started/getting-started/interact-with-bot.md) consists of two steps, uploading a document and making sure it's processed before using it. 

## Upload a file

Uploading a file, again, requires information about the Knowledgebase and path a file should be uploaded to. Both information can be obtained from the steps before.

## POST /files/v2

## Next Steps

Now that you we have a DB with Documents, let's also look at how to [Save & Contribute Insights](/getting-started/knowledge-management/save-and-contribute-insights.md).
