Can Search+ summarize several PDFs at once?

Yes. Ask for a summary of a whole workspace and Search+ summarizes across the documents in it, with citations to each source it draws on. You can also summarize one document on its own.

A workspace summary is useful at the start of a project, when you need to know what a set of reports or papers covers before reading them closely. Ask for the summary in the shape you need, such as one paragraph per document or the main points they share.

To summarize a single file, choose it in the workspace and ask for its summary. Either way, the citations show which document each point came from.
