Most problems have a quick fix. Find yours below. If none of these help, send us a help request.
An upload was rejected
Files that can’t be uploaded are listed in the Files panel with the reason:
- Unsupported file type — Framework accepts PDFs, images (JPG, PNG, TIFF, BMP, HEIC, WebP) and CAD drawings (DWG, DXF). Export or print anything else to PDF and upload that.
- File too large — each file can be up to 250 MB. Split a large set into smaller PDFs (for example by discipline) and upload them separately.
- File is empty (0 bytes) — the file usually hasn’t finished downloading from cloud storage. Wait for it to sync, then try again, or use Import to bring it in from your storage directly.
- Document limit reached or Storage limit reached — your plan is full. Delete documents you don’t need, or upgrade. Plan limits are on the pricing page.
Uploading also needs the Editor role or above on the project.
A document failed to process
After upload, each file goes through Queued, Reading and Splitting sheets before it shows as Processed. Large sets take longer. If a file shows Failed (you’ll also get a Document failed notification):
- Click the failed file in the Files panel to retry it, or open its menu and choose Reprocess.
- If it fails again, re-export or re-save the PDF on your computer and upload the new copy.
- Still failing? Send a help request with the file name.
The agent stopped: limit reached
When your workspace has used its AI credits for the period (or, on the free Hobby plan, its weekly messages), a notice appears above the message box and the agent pauses. Everything else — documents, estimates, schedules — keeps working.
- If you’re the owner, click Upgrade, or turn on overage so the agent can keep working — see Overage.
- If you’re not, you’ll see Ask the project owner to upgrade their plan. Let them know.
- Otherwise, credits reset at the start of the next period. Check where you stand under Workspace settings → Usage.
If the message says Payment overdue, the workspace owner needs to update the payment method in Billing settings.
You don’t have permission
What you can do in a project depends on your role. Common cases:
- Viewers can read everything but can’t send messages to the agent, upload files or edit pages.
- Editors can create and edit, but deleting content needs Admin.
- Editing project settings and inviting people needs Admin or Owner.
- Archiving or deleting a project needs the Owner.
To check your role on a project someone shared with you, look under Shared with you on the Projects page. Ask a project Admin or the Owner to change it. See Members, Roles & Sharing.
