Once a knowledge base is created, its data source cannot be changed later.
When creating a ready-to-use knowledge base, you can upload local files as its data source:
  1. Click Knowledge > Create > Create a ready-to-use knowledge base.
  2. Select Import from file as the data source, then upload your files.
    • Maximum number of files per upload: 5 (set via UPLOAD_FILE_BATCH_LIMIT)
    • Maximum file size: 15 MB (set via UPLOAD_FILE_SIZE_LIMIT)
For Images in Uploaded Files JPG, JPEG, PNG, and GIF images under 2 MB are automatically extracted as attachments to their corresponding chunks. These images can be managed independently and are returned alongside their chunks during retrieval. URLs of extracted images remain in the chunk text, but you can safely remove these URLs to keep the text clean; this won’t affect the extracted images. If you select a multimodal embedding model (marked with a Vision icon) in index settings, the extracted images will also be embedded and indexed for retrieval. Each chunk supports up to 10 image attachments (set via SINGLE_CHUNK_ATTACHMENT_LIMIT); images beyond this limit will not be extracted. The image size limit is governed by ATTACHMENT_IMAGE_FILE_SIZE_LIMIT. The above extraction rule applies to:
  • Images embedded in DOCX and XLSX files
    Images embedded in other file types (e.g., PDF) can be extracted by using appropriate document extraction plugins in knowledge pipelines.
  • Images referenced via accessible URLs using the following Markdown syntax in any file type:
    • ![alt text](image_url)
    • ![alt text](image_url "optional title")
