| Field | Description |
|---|---|
| Author | The main point of contact for a document. Initially, the person uploading the document is the author. Thereafter, the author can be any selected user. |
| Created By | The name of the person who originally uploaded the file. |
| Modified By | The name of the person who last uploaded the file. |

| Document Name | The name of the document including its file extension. |
| Document Unique Name | A unique name used to refer to the document when using the Lightning Platform API. In managed packages, this name prevents naming conflicts on package installations. This name can contain only underscores and alphanumeric characters, and must be unique in your org. It must begin with a letter, not include spaces, not end with an underscore, and not contain two consecutive underscores. With this field, a developer can change certain components' names or titles in a managed package and the changes are reflected in a subscriber's organization. |
| Description | A statement distinguishing this document from others. |
| Indicate Document is Internal |
A checkbox that adds a flag to the document indicating that document viewers should not share the file outside of the organization. Checking this box does not expressly enforce any security rules. The Indicate Document is Internal and Externally Available Image checkboxes are mutually exclusive; you cannot select both. |
| Externally Available Image |
A checkbox that indicates if the document is an image available for HTML email templates, such as a logo in a letterhead, and does not require a Salesforce username and password to view in an email. This checkbox indicates if the document is an image used as a custom app logo or custom tab icon, which require a Salesforce username and password to view. The Indicate Document is Internal and Externally Available Image checkboxes are mutually exclusive; you cannot select both. |
| Keywords | An open text field containing one or more words that describe the document. The program checks for matches in this field when doing a search. |
| Path | Stored in place of Document Name if you prefer to create a link to the document instead of uploading it. |
| Size | The size of the document in bytes. |
| Type | The file type is determined by the file extension. For example, filename.ppt is recognized as a PowerPoint file. If the Don't allow HTML uploads as attachments or document records security setting is enabled for your organization, you cannot upload files with the following file extensions: .htm, .html, .htt, .htx, .mhtm, .mhtml, .shtm, .shtml, .acgi, .svg. |
