The **Knowledge Base** panel () lets you attach reference material to your document. Uploaded files and URLs are processed and made available to the AI assistant, so it can draw on your sources when generating or editing content. Knowledge Base sidebar panel *** ## Adding knowledge There are two ways to add resources: ### File upload Click or drag & drop files into the upload area at the top of the panel. Multiple files can be uploaded at once. | Constraint | Value | | ----------------- | ---------------------------------------------------- | | **Formats** | PDF, Markdown (.md), Plain Text (.txt), Word (.docx) | | **Max file size** | 50 MB | ### URL resource Enter a web URL in the **Add URL Resource** field and press Enter or click the button. The content of the page is fetched and processed automatically. *** ## Processing status After uploading a file or adding a URL, the resource must be **processed** before the AI can use it. Each item shows a status icon on the right: | Icon | Status | Meaning | | ------------------------------------------ | -------------- | -------------------------------------------- | | | **Pending** | Queued for processing | | | **Processing** | Currently being analyzed | | | **Ready** | Successfully processed — available to the AI | | | **Failed** | Processing failed (hover for details) | The panel automatically checks for status updates while items are still processing. Wait until you see the green icon before using the AI assistant with that resource. *** ## Managing items Each knowledge item shows the filename (or URL), upload date, and a type icon ( for files, for URLs). On hover, two actions appear: * **Copy ID** — copies the internal asset ID to your clipboard * **Delete** — permanently removes the resource from the knowledge base Hover actions on a knowledge base item showing Copy ID and Delete buttons *** ## Using knowledge in the AI assistant Once your resources are processed, switch to the **Assistant** panel () and enable the knowledge base toggle. The AI will then use your uploaded documents and URLs as context when answering questions or generating content. Activate knowledge base in the AI assistant chat If the knowledge base is empty (no resources uploaded), the Knowledge toggle in the Assistant panel is disabled and cannot be activated.
