Knowledge Bases and source documents

Group trusted source material, upload documents, monitor indexing, and keep Interview grounding current.

A Knowledge Base is a focused collection of documents that can be selected while authoring an Interview. It provides background for preparation; it does not replace participant evidence or make every statement in a document true.

Create a focused Knowledge Base

Administrators can create and edit Knowledge Bases. Give each one a name and description that explains the subject and intended use. Prefer several coherent collections over one catch-all library.

Upload source documents

  1. Open Knowledge Base and select a collection.
  2. Choose the upload action and select an approved source document.
  3. Wait for the document status to move through processing to Ready.
  4. Review the filename, version, and collection status before using the Knowledge Base in an Interview.

Indexing is asynchronous. A queued or processing document is not yet available for grounding. A failed document needs attention before the collection should be considered complete.

Replace or remove material

Replace a document when a newer approved version supersedes it. Delete a document only after checking which interview-authoring work depends on the Knowledge Base. An approved Interview revision is a pinned historical input; changing the Knowledge Base does not rewrite evidence from completed sessions.

Source quality checklist

  • Use material your organization is authorized to store and process.
  • Remove credentials, secrets, and irrelevant personal information.
  • Prefer current, clearly titled documents with an identifiable owner.
  • Separate policy, procedure, and reference material when their review cycles differ.
  • Treat participant statements as evidence from the interview, not as an extension of the source library.
