# First Steps

> Learn the basics to get started with Sharly—from setting your preferred language to logging out securely. 

### Upload documents

Drag and drop a file into Sharly, or click **Upload Document** from your dashboard. Supported formats include PDF, Word, PowerPoint, Notion exports, and more. Your document will appear instantly in your workspace, ready for analysis.

### Ask your first question

Once a document is uploaded, type a question in the chat box (e.g., *“Summarize this in 5 bullet points”*). Sharly will respond with an answer backed by citations from your file. This makes it easy to move from raw content to trusted insights in seconds.

### View summaries

Every uploaded document comes with an instant AI-generated summary. You’ll see key insights and citations linked to the original text, so you can verify facts quickly and save time on long reports.

### Change appearance

Go to **Settings → Platform** to switch between light mode, dark mode, or system default. This lets you work in the theme that’s easiest on your eyes.

### Manage your prompt library

Under **Settings → Prompt Library**, you can create, edit, and organize reusable prompts to speed up your research workflow.

**Built-in prompts** come pre-loaded and cover common tasks:

* **Summarize** — Generate a concise summary of the document.
* **Highlight** — Surface the most important points.
* **Simplify** — Rewrite content in plain language.
* **Enhance** — Expand on ideas with more detail.
* **Critique** — Provide a critical analysis of the content.
* **Meme** — Generate a lighthearted take on the material.

**Custom prompts** — Click **+ New Prompt** to create your own. Give it a name and write the instruction you want the AI to follow. Custom prompts appear alongside the built-in ones and can be applied to any chat.

You can also **search** your prompt library by name, **reorder** prompts by dragging the handles, and **favorite** prompts you use often so they appear at the top.

### Multi-language support

Sharly supports multiple languages on both the **platform** and the **AI agent**. The **platform interface** (menus, buttons, navigation) can be switched in **Settings → Platform**, so the whole app appears in your preferred language. The **AI agent language** is separate and **chat-specific**. You can choose it inside each chat’s settings, meaning one chat can run in English while another runs in Spanish, Chinese, or any other supported language.

### Log out

Click your profile icon in the top-right corner and select **Log out**. On shared devices, always log out to keep your documents secure.
