Enterprise feature
Knowledge base ingestion and retrieval require Enterprise licensing and admin enablement. If the page is missing from Settings, your contract may not include org-level retrieval-augmented generation (RAG), or an admin disabled AI document features.Legal and security teams should review what may be uploaded: customer data, credentials, and unreleased strategy documents usually belong out of the knowledge base.
Organization-level RAG
When RAG is on, Copilot retrieves chunks from indexed documents that match your question’s intent. Responses blend product behavior with your internal terminology (for example, official names for domains, zones, and data classes). Admins configure:- Embedding model and chunking strategy (within provider limits)
- Refresh cadence when source documents change
- Access scopes so sensitive collections are limited to specific teams or workspaces
Document management
Create a collection
Admins create a collection per domain (data platform standards, connector playbooks, incident response).
Upload or link sources
Upload PDF, Markdown, or HTML exports, or sync from approved repositories when your deployment supports it.
Review indexing status
Wait for indexing to complete; failed files show parse errors you must fix and re-upload.
Feedback loop
Encourage analysts to mark when Copilot ignored the knowledge base or cited the wrong section. Admins use that signal to:- Add missing articles
- Split long documents into clearer sections
- Retire contradictory pages
- Good candidates
- Poor candidates
Connector standards, naming conventions, PII handling rules, on-call runbooks for pipeline failures.
