+#### Per-User Watch Folder Integrations
+
+In addition to system-level watch folders, each user can configure personal watch folder sources through the **Integrations** dashboard (`/integrations`). Documents ingested from per-user watch folder integrations are automatically attributed to the owning user's `owner_id`.
+
+Per-user watch folder integrations are stored in the `user_integrations` table with `integration_type='WATCH_FOLDER'` and `direction='SOURCE'`. The `config` JSON field stores:
+- `folder_path` — absolute path to the directory to scan
+- `delete_after_process` — whether to remove source files after ingestion (default: `false`)
+
+> **Security**: Path traversal protection is enforced on user-configured watch folder paths. Relative paths, `..` components, and symlink escapes are rejected to prevent access to files outside the intended directory.
+
+- Individual scan failures are handled gracefully and recorded on the integration's `last_error` field without interrupting the scanning of other integrations.
+- The scan runs alongside the system-level watch folder polling cycle.

 ### IMAP Email Ingestion
 
-DocuElevate can automatically pull document attachments from IMAP mailboxes — no need to forward emails manually. Configure one or two mailboxes and DocuElevate polls them on the schedule you set.
+DocuElevate can automatically pull document attachments from IMAP mailboxes — no need to forward emails manually. Configure one or two system-wide mailboxes using environment variables, and/or let each user configure their own IMAP sources via the **Integrations** dashboard.
 
 > **For HP Scanners (Scan to Email)**: If your scanner is set up to email scanned documents to a dedicated mailbox, configure that mailbox in DocuElevate using the settings below. DocuElevate will automatically retrieve the scanned PDFs from the inbox and process them. You do **not** need to configure DocuElevate as an email server — it acts as an email *client* that reads from your existing mailbox.

 - When `UNOWNED_DOCS_VISIBLE_TO_ALL=true` (default), every authenticated user sees unclaimed
   documents alongside their own files. This allows users to discover and claim them.
