Type of Documentation Change

Error/Typo fix

Current Content

Dify lacks file management capability, making it unsuitable for certain scenarios.

Steps to reproduce the issue:
Step 1: Configure the file parameter for input

Step 2: Run the workflow and upload a file via URL

Step 3: Modify the content of Mock3.docx

Step 4: Re-run the workflow with unchanged parameters, as referenced in Step 2

At this point, the input file is identical to the one in Step 2. It is suspected that Mock3.docx is cached in the workflow, but this document cannot be managed through either the UI or API.
This scenario is common in Office document editing contexts and will render certain use cases inapplicable.

Suggested Changes

Dify should support file management capability for workflows.

Reason for Change

Hi, @zjko. I'm Dosu, and I'm helping the dify-docs team manage their backlog and am marking this issue as stale.

Issue Summary:

You reported that Dify currently lacks file management features, making it difficult to reuse or edit files like Office documents within workflows.
This limitation is due to caching and limited UI/API controls, restricting certain use cases that need better file handling.
Another user, durdana3105, showed interest in addressing this issue and requested assignment.
The issue remains unresolved with no recent updates or progress.

Next Steps:

Please let me know if this issue is still relevant to the latest version of dify-docs by commenting here to keep the discussion open.
If I don’t hear back within 5 days, this issue will be automatically closed.

Thank you for your understanding and contribution!
