Convert uploaded files to Lark Docs
If you've already uploaded a local file, you can convert it into a Lark document.
- Open an uploaded .doc, .docx, .xls, .xlsx, .csv, or .pptx format file.
- Click Convert to Doc in the upper-right corner. Alternatively, hover over the ··· icon and then click Convert to Doc.
- Choose whether to keep the original file in the pop-up window.
Note: If the uploaded file is stored in a wiki space or My Document Library, you cannot convert it to a Lark document using the above method. You must first move the file to My Space (Drive > My Folders) or a folder.
