Create a parser and check your first extracted result. Start with one typical document; you can improve the setup before adding the rest.

## [Create your parser](#1-create-your-parser)

Open your team and click **Create Document Parser**. Enter a clear **Parser Name**, choose the closest **Document Processing Type**, and continue.

## [Choose what to extract](#2-choose-what-to-extract)

On **What to extract**, keep the fields and tables you need. Add, rename, or remove anything before continuing.

## [Upload one document](#3-upload-one-document)

On **Upload document**, drop one typical file into the upload area. You can use the sample document when one is available.

If you see **Start free trial** first, complete that step and continue to the upload.

## [Check the result](#4-check-the-result)

When processing finishes, DigiParser opens the **Document Inbox**. Click the document to compare the original file with its extracted fields and tables.

If an important value is wrong, click it, correct it, and save.

## [Choose how future documents will arrive](#5-choose-how-future-documents-will-arrive)

Return to the **Document Inbox** and choose the easiest method for your normal work:

*   [Upload files from your computer](/docs/guides/document-processing/uploading-documents)
*   [Forward documents from email](/docs/guides/document-processing/processing-via-email)
*   [Share an upload page with clients](/docs/guides/document-processing/collecting-documents-from-clients)
*   [Route mixed document types](/docs/guides/route-a-mixed-email-inbox)

## [Download a test export](#6-download-a-test-export)

Click **Export Data**, choose **XLSX** or **CSV**, and click **Download**.

Open the downloaded file and check that the field names and columns are useful. Your parser is now ready for more documents.
