Use file briefs after processing

A file brief is a short review aid for a processed file. Use it to understand what a source contains before deeper page, table, or document review.

Briefs appear after Reia prepares the file's pages, tables, images, source references, and context for review. When source material processes cleanly, the brief gives you a faster route into the sections, claims, and figures that deserve attention.

A brief is a starting point, not a substitute for review. Use it to orient yourself, then follow source references and open the original file when a figure, clause, or assumption matters.

Brief states

Brief not ready means the file has not been processed. Brief in progress means processing is still running. Processing failed means processing did not finish. Brief unavailable means the file was processed, but no brief is available.

If a brief is missing

If a brief is not ready, process the file first. If processing is still running, check again later.

If processing failed, retry processing. If a brief remains unavailable after a successful process, open the file directly and keep working from the processed source context.

Briefs are a fast entry point into large files. Use them to find the right section, then follow source references and the original file when a detail matters.
