At a glance

Add your files to the Knowledge Base to make them searchable and connect them to your relationship graph.

Before you start

  • You have access to an Ontologie workspace.
  • Your documents are ready in an accepted format (PDF, DOCX, Markdown, TXT, or HTML).
  • Each file is under 50 MB.

Document library

The library displays all your documents as a grid or a list. You can filter by status, format, source, tags, or date added.

Document library

Available filters

  • Status: Ready, Processing, Error.
  • Format: PDF, DOCX, Markdown, Text, HTML.
  • Source: filter by origin (manual import, GitHub, Confluence, etc.).
  • Tags: search by keywords with automatic suggestions.
  • Date: set a date range (from / to).

Add files

Click the Import button or drag and drop your files directly into the library. The import wizard guides you through three steps.

Step 2: Metadata

For each file (or in bulk), you can fill in:

  • Title: pre-filled from the file name, editable.
  • Description: a free-form summary of the content.
  • Category: classify the document (Technical, Legal, HR, etc.).
  • Tags: add keywords to make searching and filtering easier (for example: "contract", "supplier", "2026").
  • Space: associate the document with a space in your ontology (for example "Supply Chain" or "Human Resources").

All these fields are optional. You can edit them after import.

Step 3: Processing

The import starts and you can follow each file's progress in real time. Processing (extraction, indexing, entity detection) continues in the background.

Import progress

View a document

Click a document to open its detail page. You will find:

  • Metadata: title, description, category, tags, origin source, and date added.
  • Extracted content: the document text, organized by pages or sections.
  • Detected entities: names, locations, organizations, and concepts automatically identified in the text.
  • Processing status: each step (extraction, chunking, indexing, etc.) with its status.

Document detail

From the detail page, you can:

  • Edit the title, description, category, and tags.
  • Re-run processing if the document has been updated.
  • Download the original file.
  • Delete the document from the base.

Bulk actions

Select multiple documents (via checkboxes or the "Select page" button) to perform grouped actions:

  • Add tags to the selection -- for example, tag 20 documents as "archive-2025" in one click.
  • Replace tags -- replace "draft" with "validated" on all selected documents.
  • Remove tags from specific documents.
  • Re-run processing on selected documents (useful after an entity model update).
  • Delete selected documents.

Bulk actions

Find the Knowledge Base and the Graph from the sidebar, under the Applications section.
