What are labels in Documents?

Labels in Documents help your team stay organized by categorizing your files, making them easier to find. You can use labels to sort, filter, and group files by project, department, status, or other criteria that fit your team's workflow. This keeps document management simple and ensures you can quickly access the files you need.
