# What are company documents? / How to create a company document?

A company document is a file viewable to all employees in the organization. Typically documents will be organized with folders to be more accessible.  You can view company documents in the documents module found in the navigation bar on the left hand side.

You can create a company document by clicking the 'create document' button on the right hand side where it will prompt you to fill in name, description, folder, department, visibility, expiry date, document type, while also being able to add additional users who have access to the file and being able to upload the file from your local device.
