# Generating documents using the Box web app

You can manually generate documents from the Box Doc Gen interface in Relay. This method is ideal for one-off document generation or testing your templates.

To manually generate a document in Box Doc Gen:

1. Go to **Relay** > **Doc Gen**.
2. Select the template, and then select the ellipsis (...).
3. Select **Generate Document**.
4. Use either the **Form View** to manually fill in data that auto-populates within the Box Doc Gen template placeholder text tags or leverage the **JSON Editor** to copy, paste, or upload JSON data to generate the placeholder tags to auto-populate within the generated document.

> [!NOTE]
>
> The **Form view** enables you to generate documents using only text tags. To generate document features such as dynamic lists, tables, and images, we recommend using the JSON Editor view.
