What is the difference between Card and Table View and Repeat Mode?

Card View runs each insight across all selected sources at once. It is best when information is spread across documents or needs cross-referencing.

Repeat Mode repeats the Extraction per file or folder item. It is best when you want one row per document, such as invoices, contracts, or forms.
