# Do Perplexity Spaces keep uploaded-file research separate from web search?

I’m considering using Perplexity Spaces for two research projects that have different [uploaded documents](https://answers.mindstick.com/qa/95080/why-are-documents-uploaded-into-a-pdf) and different web sources. I don’t want details from one project quietly influencing answers in the other.

Does a Space keep its **research context** isolated to its own files and conversations? I’m also wondering whether a question in a Space searches the web as usual, or whether uploaded documents change which sources Perplexity uses.
