# Update Inventory from File Overview

When working with laboratory robots, the robots often generate a log file that records the tasks they have performed. In Sample, you can upload this log file, and the system will process it to update the inventory according to the actual work completed. This ensures that the inventory remains accurate and reflects the true state of your samples and plates.

The `Update Inventory from File` workflow in Sample enables you to efficiently update inventory based on robot-generated log files, ensuring traceability and minimizing manual data entry.
