What it is
Documents answers a single question: what has this company actually published? It is where you go to the source — to read the latest 10-K, 10-Q or 8-K (or 20-F and 6-K for foreign issuers, or Canadian SEDAR filings), to pull up an earnings-call transcript, to review the quarter’s presentation slides or press release, or to open a sustainability report — rather than to look up a pre-computed number. For the company you have open, pick a year and the page lays out every document on file for that year as a single gallery. Filter by document type, drill into a filing family, search by name, and sort the results. Click any card and the document opens in a built-in reader beside the list: PDFs and filings get page navigation, zoom and in-document find; other web-format documents get a clean Reader Mode; transcripts render as a readable speaker-by-speaker conversation. From the reader you can push the document straight into the AI assistant as context, or open the original in a new browser tab to save it. It is scoped to the single company whose workspace you are in. For a cross-company, full-text search of the same kind of documents, you use Document Search instead (see When to use something else instead).When to use it
Reach for Documents when your question is about one company’s published record and you want the actual source:- Read a specific filing — the latest 10-K annual report, 10-Q quarterly report, 8-K current report, DEF 14A proxy, a registration statement, or a foreign-issuer 20-F or 6-K (and Canadian SEDAR filings).
- Open an earnings-call transcript — read management’s exact words, by speaker, for a given quarter.
- Review the quarter’s investor materials — the earnings presentation slide deck or the earnings press release.
- Open a sustainability / ESG report — the company’s own ESG or environmental-progress disclosures.
- Hand a document to the AI — load any filing, transcript, deck or report into the assistant so it can summarize it, answer questions, or extract figures.

What you get
The page has three working areas: the filter-and-search controls, the document gallery, and the in-place reader.Filter & search bar
The controls that scope which documents appear.Document gallery
The browsable gallery of documents for the selected company and year. Each document is a card showing:- A thumbnail — a real first-page preview when available, otherwise the company logo with a type icon (thumbnails load as cards scroll into view).
- A cleaned, human-readable file name.
- A color-coded type badge with an icon, so the document type is recognizable at a glance — SEC Filing (blue), SEDAR Filing (indigo), Slides (orange), Transcript (purple), Press Release (green), ESG Report (emerald).
- The specific filing type when present (for example 10-K, 8-K, DEF 14A).
- The quarter and year when present.
In-place document reader
Reads the selected document without leaving the page. It opens beside the now-condensed, resizable, collapsible document list. The reader header shows the document’s icon, name, type, filing type and quarter/year, plus three actions — Ask AI about this document, Open in new tab and Close — and a toggle to show or hide the document list (the list auto-collapses when both the reader and the AI assistant are open, then reopens when you close the reader). The reader adapts to the document:Key capabilities at a glance
What you can take away
- The document read on screen — as a PDF, a non-filing web document with Reader Mode, or a speaker-by-speaker transcript.
- The document handed to the AI assistant as context (its name, type, ticker, year, quarter, filing type and a link), so you can run Q&A, summarization or extraction in chat.
- The original document opened in a new browser tab, where you can use the browser to view or save it.
Data & sources
Documents draws on the company’s primary-source disclosures and its investor-relations output, all keyed to the ticker you are viewing:- US regulatory filings — SEC filings such as 10-K annual reports, 10-Q quarterly reports, 8-K current/material-event reports, DEF 14A proxy statements, registration statements, and foreign-private-issuer forms such as 20-F and 6-K.
- Canadian regulatory filings — SEDAR filings, organized by category and filing type.
- Earnings presentation slides — the company’s investor-relations earnings slide decks, by quarter.
- Earnings-call transcripts — quarterly earnings-call transcripts, rendered speaker-by-speaker.
- Press releases — the company’s earnings / IR press releases, by quarter.
- ESG / sustainability reports — the company’s own published ESG, environmental-progress and sustainability reports (the year is taken from the document itself and matched to the year you selected).
Tips & best practices
- Set the year first, then filter. The year drives everything on the page; pick it, then narrow by type and category to cut straight to what you need.
- Combine type filters when you are comparing. Selecting Transcripts and Slides and Press Releases at once gives you the full quarter’s earnings package side by side in the gallery.
- Search forgivingly. You don’t need exact punctuation — “8k”, “10k” and “10q” all find the hyphenated filing names, so type the shorthand you’d say out loud.
- Use the category filter to find the one filing you want. For a 10-K, filter to SEC Filings and pick the annual-reports category; for the latest material event, pick the current-reports category.
- Let the AI do the first read. Open a long filing or transcript, click Ask AI about this document, and ask for a structured summary or specific figures before reading the exact words yourself.
- Use Reader Mode for messy web documents. When a non-filing web page is hard to scan, switch on Reader Mode for clean article text, then flip back to Original View if you need the exact on-page formatting.
- To save a copy, use Open in new tab. There is no in-app download button; opening the original in the browser is the way to view or save the source file.
- Resize for side-by-side reading. Drag the divider (or collapse the list) so the reader fills the space, and keep the AI assistant open alongside to ask questions as you read.
Limits & things to know
- The year picker covers the five most recent years. Older years are not selectable from this tab.
- You browse one year at a time. Documents are shown per selected year, not as a continuous multi-year stream.
- 16 documents per page. Longer years are paginated.
- The document-type filter is fixed to six types — SEC Filings, SEDAR Filings, Slides, Transcripts, Press Releases, ESG Reports.
- A document type shows only when the company has documents of that type that year. SEC filings, SEDAR filings, slides, transcripts, press releases and ESG reports each appear only when documents of that type are on file for the company and the selected year.
- ESG reports are matched to the selected year by the year detected in the report, so an ESG report appears only under the year it is dated.
- No download or print button in the reader. In-reader PDF download and print are turned off; use Open in new tab to save the original. There is also no Excel / CSV / PNG export on this surface.
- No Add to Data Room, bookmark, or note-taking on this tab. The in-place actions are read, Ask AI, open in new tab, and close.
- Non-earnings investor-relations documents are not shown here. Annual-meeting and conference transcripts, slides and press releases live on the Events side and in Company IR & Events, not in this company Documents tab, which focuses on filings, earnings materials and ESG reports.
- The AI hand-off is a one-way context push. It opens the AI assistant pre-loaded with the document; it does not itself answer — you ask your question in chat.
Availability
No special entitlement is required beyond having the company open in the Data Viewer — the tab is reachable for any ticker. What you actually see depends on what the company has on file: the six document types appear only when documents of that type exist for that company and year.Works with other features
Documents sits inside the Equities (Data Viewer) workspace, a per-company research surface that feeds the rest of the platform. The one in-place cross-feature action is Ask AI, but the documents you find here flow into several other features.Chat (AI assistant)

Example workflow
Goal: get to the source on one company’s latest quarter, then scale the read across its peers and write it up.- Open the company in the Equities (Data Viewer) workspace and select Documents. Leave the year on the most recent, and filter the Document Type to Transcripts, Slides and Press Releases to see the whole earnings package for the quarter.
- Open the earnings-call transcript in the reader, then click Ask AI about this document and ask the assistant for a structured rundown — key takeaways, guidance, the metrics management cited, and the main Q&A points. The transcript is already loaded as context.
- Switch the filter to SEC Filings, pick the annual- or quarterly-report category, and open the 10-K or 10-Q. Use in-document Find to jump to the sections you care about, and send the filing to the AI to reconcile the written disclosures with the spoken guidance.
- Cross-check the reported figures and consensus on Financials & Ratios and Estimates, and review the MSCI profile on ESG.
- To scale it, run a Grid that asks the same document-based questions across the company’s peer group at once.
- Generate a Report on the company grounded in these filings and transcripts, and use Open in new tab to save any original document for your own files.
