Processing Workflow

After upload, each document goes through these stages:

Status Description
Processing Text is being extracted and split into chunks
Completed Document has been chunked and is ready for embedding
Failed An error occurred during processing (click Retry to try again)

Once processing completes, the document's chunks appear in the Knowledge Base and need embeddings generated (just like website content). Visit the Knowledge Base page to process any pending embeddings.

Managing Documents

The documents table shows:

Column Description
Filename Original file name
File Type PDF or DOCX
File Size File size in human-readable format
Status Processing status with color indicator
Chunks Number of content chunks created
Upload Date When the file was uploaded
Actions Retry (for failed) or Delete

Deleting a Document

Click Delete to remove a document and all its associated content chunks from the knowledge base. This action cannot be undone.

Search Integration

Document content is included in your chatbot's knowledge base alongside website content. The Configuration > Search tab offers three modes for how documents are searched:

Mode Description
Linked Documents are linked to related website pages and returned as supplementary context
Direct Documents are searched directly alongside website content
Hybrid Combines both approaches for maximum coverage

Tips

  • Upload product manuals, FAQ documents, or policy documents to give your chatbot specialized knowledge
  • Keep documents under 10 MB — split large documents if needed
  • Re-upload a document to update its content (delete the old version first)
  • Check the Knowledge Base page after upload to verify chunks were created and embeddings are processed
