I am wanting to run an audit of what documents we currently have stored on Personio, so we can identify any gaps and then upload the correct documents.
I think you used to be able to run a report that gave you the employee name, and which document categories they had documents in but I can no longer see how to do this.
Is it possible to glean this information in some other way, or do I have to manually go onto each individual’s profile?

Dear
Welcome to the Personio Community, we are thrilled to see you here 🎊 🥳. I am happy to support you with your inquiry.
In order to have an overview of which documents are saved in which employee profiles, the best option is to create a company export. In this export, for each employee and candidate, a separate folder is created in the zip file, containing all documents sorted by different categories.
In the following help center article you can find a guidance on hos to create a company export:
Make sure to open the zip file with any of the following programs: WinZip, WinRAR oder 7-Zip.
Please let me know if this information was helpful for you, or if there is any other question I can support you with.
If you have any questions about Personio or ideas to share with the Community, feel free to create a new topic anytime. We are always listening 😊.
I wish you an amazing afternoon🌸.
Best,

My name is Conor — I'm the Product Manager responsible for document experiences @ Personio.
Our product team is changing the overall document experience in employee profiles and we are looking for customers who have given feedback related to auditing and searching for documents. This will be the first step towards making company wide audits easier to do in the future
In case you are interested to have an impact on this experience, feel free to check out the post below.
Your feedback on the design will directly influence the future of the product
Additionally, I understand from this support article that I can export documents in bulk directly from the documents tab in the respective employee profiles. However, I don’t have access to that “download” icon that the article is referring to (see screenshot attached). I have full admin rights. Am I doing something wrong or has something changed with the system after that article was written?
Best regards,
Linda

On the moment, it is only possible to have an overview of documents by creating a company export. For this, you can follow the indications I posted above.
The button to export documents in bulk, directly from the documents tab, is only available for your own profile. Even as an admin, it is not possible to export documents from other employees’ profiles.
I have searched for an existing post in our ideation area, but there seems not to be any suggestion for improvement about this topic. I would like to encourage you to post this suggestion about this topic. You can follow our guidance about how to post an idea here:
→ How to: Submit an idea or suggest a new feature
Thank you very much for sharing your feedback with us!
I wish you an amazing day 🌸.
Best,

Dear Personio Team,
I received today feedback from our HR team that documents from payroll are not included in the bulk export and therefore need to be downloaded manually. To be honest, I find this quite incomprehensible in the year 2025.
Given the rapid developments in automation and AI, I really don’t understand how such a basic feature could be missing. Downloading 36 documents manually as an employee is extremely inconvenient – this kind of task should absolutely be automated by now.
I would therefore like to explicitly pass this feedback on to your product team. From my perspective, a full document export – including all payroll-related documents – should be considered a fundamental feature of any modern HR software.
Kind regards,
Antonia
+7Hi
the best way to ensure your feedback reaches the relevant product teams is to share it via the ‘Give feedback’ feature directly in your Personio account.
Hope this helps!
