+## The Web UI
+
+The web UI is the primary way to interact with Paperless-ngx. It is a
+single-page application that is built with modern web technologies and
+is designed to be fast and responsive. The web UI includes a robust
+interface for filtering, viewing, searching and editing documents.
+You can also manage tags, correspondents, document types, and other
+settings from the web UI.
+
+The web UI also includes a 'tour' feature that can be accessed from the
+settings page or from the dashboard for new users. The tour highlights
+some of the key features of the web UI and can be useful for new users.
+
+### Dashboard
+
+The dashboard is the first page you see when you log in. By default, it
+does not show any documents, but you can add saved views to the dashboard
+to show documents that match certain criteria. The dashboard also includes
+a button to upload documents to Paperless-ngx but you can also drag and
+drop files anywhere in the app to initiate the consumption process.
+
+### Document List
+
+The document list is the primary way to view and interact with your documents.
+You can filter the list by tags, correspondents, document types, and other
+criteria. You can also edit documents in bulk including assigning tags,
+correspondents, document types, and custom fields. Selecting document(s) from
+the list will allow you to perform the various bulk edit operations. The
+document list also includes a search bar that allows you to search for documents
+by title, ASN, and use advanced search syntax.
+
+### Document Detail
+
+The document detail page shows all the information about a single document.
+You can view the document, edit its metadata, assign tags, correspondents,
+document types, and custom fields. You can also view the document history,
+download the document or share it via a share link.
+
+### Management Lists
+
+Paperless-ngx includes management lists for tags, correspondents, document types
+and more. These areas allow you to view, add, edit, delete and manage permissions
+for these objects. You can also manage saved views, mail accounts, mail rules,
+workflows and more from the management sections.
