Edward is only as good as the documents behind it. As an admin, you keep your brokerage’s library accurate, correctly scoped, and up to date.
The Edward Documents screen listing carrier manuals with Status, Review, and Retrieval columns

The Documents screen: filter by carrier, product, or region, upload new files, and see each document's Status, Review, and Retrieval state.

Document types

Edward treats documents differently depending on how authoritative they are:
Edward ranks evidence: manuals earn trust, supplementary documents refine it, and general documents only add context. An answer will never let a general document override a carrier’s underwriting rule.

Where documents come from

Your workspace draws on two sources:
  • General Magic documents: shared carrier documents we maintain, available to every brokerage and filtered to each broker’s scopes.
  • Your brokerage’s documents: documents you upload, visible only within your brokerage and filtered to each broker’s scopes.

Adding a document

1

Upload the file

On the Documents screen, click Upload and choose the PDF.
2

Confirm its details

Edward reads the document and proposes its carrier, product, region, and date. Review these, because accurate tagging is what routes the document to the right questions.
3

Verify it

Set the document’s Review to Verified. Once its Retrieval shows Ready, it’s live and Edward can answer from it.
A document is live only when its Review is Verified and its Retrieval is Ready. If a broker says a document “isn’t showing up” in answers, check those two columns on the Documents screen.

Keeping your library current

Edward resolves conflicts by date: when two documents disagree, the newer authority governs. To keep answers accurate:
  • Upload bulletins and updates as they arrive rather than editing old files. Edward layers the newer document on top of the base manual automatically.
  • Replace outdated manuals when a carrier issues a new edition.
  • Remove or re-scope documents that no longer apply.
Duplicate uploads are handled automatically: if you upload a file that’s already in the system, Edward recognizes it and won’t reprocess it.
