What You'll Learn

In this tutorial you'll learn:

  • Upload a supported document to a Knowledge Base
  • Understand that parsing happens in the background

Step-by-Step Guide

1

Upload a file

Dashboard → Knowledge Base → open a knowledge base → Upload

From a Knowledge Base, choose Upload and select a PDF, DOCX, TXT, Markdown, or CSV file (up to 10 MB).

Documents tab with the Upload Document button highlighted and an uploaded PDF marked Ready
Upload a document. Its status shows once processed.
2

Wait for processing

The document is parsed and indexed in the background — its status moves from Pending to Processing to Ready, so it isn't instantly searchable the moment it's uploaded.

3

Replace it later if needed

You can replace an uploaded document in place if the source content changes, without having to re-link it anywhere.
