# Document Actions

The information and actions available on LILT’s Document cards facilitates an efficient translation workflow for both linguists and project managers.

This article goes over the actions that can be performed on single documents. To see how to perform actions on multiple documents at once, see the [Bulk Document Actions](/kb/bulk-document-actions) article.

## Document card

Click on the expand button <img src="https://mintcdn.com/lilt-db26f913/JYCZK8MjjALJwC0p/images/3c2d30d5-4419650460823-expand_24x20.png?fit=max&auto=format&n=JYCZK8MjjALJwC0p&q=85&s=6dbe79bb22cf4a68bd36a75202eebe2e" className="inline" width="24" height="20" data-path="images/3c2d30d5-4419650460823-expand_24x20.png" /> on a Document card to open up a detailed view of the document.

* **Assignment accepted/rejected icon:**

  * If all linguists assigned to a document have accepted their assignment, a check mark icon <img src="https://mintcdn.com/lilt-db26f913/jiwCy-4OA0JLeee7/images/99a307cd-4411225416855-checkmark_22x22.png?fit=max&auto=format&n=jiwCy-4OA0JLeee7&q=85&s=d829f25f8741c649900dfd86c5cccbc5" className="inline" width="22" height="22" data-path="images/99a307cd-4411225416855-checkmark_22x22.png" /> will display next to the document name.

  * If there are any linguists who have not yet accepted their assignment, **no icon** will display next to the document name.

  * If any of the linguists have rejected their assignment, a cross icon <img src="https://mintcdn.com/lilt-db26f913/n80KXPcaeRoHaTeg/images/7aa5f6d0-4411225417495-cross_22x22.png?fit=max&auto=format&n=n80KXPcaeRoHaTeg&q=85&s=64b007d69d74dbffce2735d64fc8526f" className="inline" width="22" height="22" data-path="images/7aa5f6d0-4411225417495-cross_22x22.png" /> will display next to the document name.

* **Last updated time (upper-left):** The last update time updates when assignments change, when changes are made in Translate mode, or when changes are made in Review mode.

## Upload documents

To upload documents to a Project, drag and drop the files into the box at the top of the screen, or click the `Import` button to browse for files on your computer. You can also drag and drop a folder of documents into the box to upload all the files in the folder at once.

## Assign and set due dates

* Assignments can be made from the [Project view](/kb/navigating-the-projects-list).

* Assignments can be made from the Document card dropdown menu by clicking the `Assign` button.

Filtering Document cards lets you quickly get to the documents that need your attention.

If any translators or reviewers are assigned to documents in the project, their emails will show up in the filter lists.
