Manage Documents in Compass

Documents are individual records in a MongoDB collection and are the basic unit of data in MongoDB.

From the Documents tab, you can view, insert, modify, modify multiple, clone, delete, and delete multiple documents in your selected collection or view.

Note

For query result sets larger than 25 documents, Compass shows paginated results. By default, pages display 25 documents at a time. To change the number of displayed documents per page, open the drop-down menu under the query bar and select one of the following values:

  • 25

  • 50

  • 75

  • 100

From the query bar, you can specify a query to filter the displayed documents. Click Options to specify query options.
