# [Document View Tabs](#document-view-tabs)

Feedback

When you open a document, you can view it in different ways: **Extracted Data**, **JSON**, **XML**, and **History**.

## [Where to find tabs](#where-to-find-tabs)

Feedback

1.  Open a document from the **Document Inbox**.
2.  In the **split view**, look at the top of the right panel for **Extracted Data**, **JSON**, and **XML**. **History** shows the document timeline.

## [Data tab](#data-tab)

Feedback

The **Data** tab (default) shows your **extracted fields and tables** in an easy-to-read format. This is where you:

Feedback

*   **View** extracted values
*   **Edit** values by clicking cells
*   **Approve** or **reject** documents (if using Reviews & Approvals)

Feedback

This is the main tab you'll use for reviewing and editing.

## [JSON tab](#json-tab)

Feedback

The **JSON** tab shows the **raw extracted data** in a structured format. This is useful for:

Feedback

*   **Understanding** the exact data structure when setting up integrations
*   **Debugging** extraction issues
*   **Seeing** how data is organized before it's exported

Feedback

**When to use**: If you're connecting to other systems or need to see the exact data format, the JSON tab shows it in a structured way.

## [XML tab](#xml-tab)

Feedback

The **XML** tab shows the extracted data as XML. Use it when another system needs XML or when you want to inspect the XML before downloading or copying it.

Feedback

The XML tab includes controls to copy or download the result.

## [History tab](#history-tab)

Feedback

The **History** tab shows a **timeline** of what happened to the document:

Feedback

*   When it was **uploaded**
*   When it was **processed**
*   When it was **approved** or **rejected**
*   When it was **assigned** or **reassigned**
*   When it was **re-processed**
*   **Who** performed each action

Feedback

**When to use:**

Feedback

*   To see **what happened** to a document over time
*   To **track changes** and approvals
*   To **debug issues** (see when processing failed or succeeded)

## [Tips](#tips)

Feedback

*   **Data tab**: Use this for everyday review and editing
*   **JSON tab**: Use when you need the raw data structure
*   **XML tab**: Copy or download the extracted data as XML
*   **History tab**: Check this to see what happened to a document
