# How do I add documents to profiles?

Kumu doesn't have any built-in support for uploading documents (e.g. PDFs or .docx files) to profiles. However, there are a few good ways to work around this.

The simplest solution is to upload your document to any online platform, (Google Drive, One Drive, Dropbox, Scribd, etc.), get a link to the document, and add that link to a Kumu profile. Readers will be able to click that link to open the document in a new tab.

If you'd rather allow readers to read the document directly inside Kumu, there are two features that can help: **widgets** and **lightbox**.

## Embed a document using widgets

If you upload your document to [Scribd](https://www.scribd.com/), you can use our Scribd widget to embed the document directly into any profile.

For more info on how to use the Scribd widget, [visit the widgets docs](/guides/widgets.md#embed-documents).

## Embed a document using lightbox

Many document hosting platforms allow you to create a share/embed link that you can use to embed the document in other platforms. In Kumu, all you need to do is retrieve that share/embed link, then add `?lightbox` or `?lightbox=full` to the end of the URL.

```scss
https://www.scribd.com/embeds/416217686/content?lightbox=full
```

![scribd lightbox](https://1181816445-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-x-prod.appspot.com/o/spaces%2FkXSW1nEf49ISqGxYuRfS%2Fuploads%2Fgit-blob-973433b774229a62fe64790515dd3f762f801818%2Flightbox-scribd.png?alt=media)

# Agent Instructions
This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the following URL with the `ask` and `goal` query parameters:

```
GET https://docs.kumu.io/frequently-asked-questions/how-do-i-add-documents-to-profiles.md?ask=<question>&goal=<user_goal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is what the user is ultimately trying to achieve, the reason they need the answer. Sharing it helps GitBook give you a better, more relevant answer. A goal is most helpful when it describes the outcome the user wants rather than restating the question. For example, with `ask=how do I create an API token`, a goal like `automate deployments from our CI pipeline` lets GitBook tailor the answer to that use case.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
