# Get Document by File

> Returns the document ID and the revision built from one version of a document file. Use it to turn a citation into its document: query records and research task results cite a document file by `documentAssetId` and `documentVersion`.

When several revisions were built from the same file version, the newest is returned, whatever its `state`. For the revision in use, read the document's active revision with [Get Document](/en/api-reference/documents-and-chunks/get-document).
