# Inbox settings

**Inbox** is where you can view, edit and manage documents that have been submitted to fileAI.

 

**Definitions**

Your Inbox is split into 4 sections and documents appear in the respective tabs which reflect their statuses,

- **Ready For Export (RFE): **Documents that have been successfully processed and ready to be exported
- **Action Required (AR): **Documents that require an action from the user (e.g. re-upload of documents, adding of missing fields, deleting of duplicated documents and/or out of scope documents)  
    - You can still manually input data into these documents and push the document into Ready For Export 
- **Processing** is where new documents are waiting to have data extracted
- **Archive** is where you can find all of your documents after they have been exported or archived
