# Downloading documents

You can download any document embedded in a Katalyz room — PDFs, decks, spreadsheets, anything the sender has shared.

## How to download

### From a Document block
Most documents are shown in a **preview** (you can read them inline without downloading). To save a local copy, look for the download icon (⬇️) — usually at the top-right of the preview.

Click it, and the file downloads to your computer.

### From an embedded link
Some documents are linked rather than embedded. Click the link; depending on the file type and your browser, it'll either download or open in a new tab.

### From a signed envelope
After signing a document, you're emailed a copy of the sealed PDF. Open the email and save the attachment.

You can also re-download anytime from the **Signature block** in the room — it shows **"Download signed document"** once completed.

## What you can download

- **PDFs, DOCX, XLSX, PPTX** — standard office documents
- **Images** — PNG, JPG, SVG
- **Videos** — where the sender has enabled download (often preview-only)
- **ZIP archives** — if the sender shared one
- **CSVs** — data files

Some content is **view-only** by design (proprietary info, pricing tables rendered inline, etc.). In those cases, there's no download option — let the sender know if you need it downloadable.

## Signed documents and legal records

For anything you **signed**, always download a local copy once it's completed. The sealed PDF is your proof of execution, and storing it locally means you don't depend on continued Katalyz access to access it.
