# Documents and workbooks

You can add documents to a static, query, or task workbook from the document list within a workspace. The document list within a workspace initially includes all documents associated with the workspace. You can then use the search filter or search builder within the context of the workspace to refine the list of documents before adding them to a workbook.

TIP: Workspaces and workbooks include document families—the item and any attachments. If you are viewing the list by "items" and add an item to a workbook, the entire document family is added. For example, the item you select to add to a workbook is an attachment to an email. The parent email, the attachment you selected, and any other attachments to the parent email are added to the workbook.

TIP: You have access to features and functions based on your assigned permissions. You will only see features and functions that have been enabled for the workspace you are viewing and that you have permission to see.
