Overview

The Settings page allows you to adjust Knowledge Base configuration after creation. Some changes may require re-indexing documents.

Access Settings:

1. Open the Knowledge Base

2. Click the Settings tab (or gear icon)

Change Index Method

You can switch between 2 index methods:

Method	Description
High Quality	Uses Embedding Model to create vectors for each chunk. Supports semantic search
Economical	Uses keyword indexing. Faster, no embedding token cost

🚨 WARNING: Changing the Index Method will trigger re-indexing of all documents. This process may take time depending on data volume.

Change Embedding Model

If using the High Quality index method, you can change the Embedding Model:

3. Go to Knowledge Base Settings

4. In the Embedding Model section, select a new model

5. Click Save

⚠️ IMPORTANT: Changing the Embedding Model will re-embed all chunks. Ensure the new model has its API key configured in Settings > Model Providers.

Configure Retrieval Settings

Adjust retrieval parameters:

Setting	Description
Retrieval Mode	Semantic Search, Keyword Search, or Hybrid
Weight Settings	Semantic vs Keyword weight (when using Hybrid)
Top K	Maximum chunks to return
Score Threshold	Minimum similarity score
Rerank Model	Enable/disable and select Rerank model

Knowledge Base Information

In Settings, you can also:

· Rename the Knowledge Base

· Update description

· View statistics: Total documents, total chunks, storage used

· View linked applications

· Delete Knowledge Base (irreversible action)

🛑 CAUTION: Deleting a Knowledge Base permanently removes all documents, chunks, and configurations. Linked applications will lose their knowledge connection. This action CANNOT be undone.
