Considerations

Source quality shapes the result

Generated outputs and chat responses depend on the scope and quality of the selected sources. If key material is missing, the result will be limited as well.

Check readiness first

Sources can appear as pending, processing, ready, or error. In general, generation and chat work best when the source is in the ready state.

Files and URLs can fail during processing

• Upload can be rejected if the file type is unsupported or if the extension does not match the actual file contents.
• URL extraction can fail because of access restrictions or content extraction issues.
• Crawl previews can expire over time and may need to be run again.

Verify important content with citations

Before using the output for important decisions, review the original material and the citation badges together. If freshness matters, also check when the material was written.

Handle sensitive material according to policy

Confirm whether you can upload sensitive material such as personal data, customer information, or contract content under your organization’s security policy.
