First, make sure you enter the chatbot management page for a specific chatbot, and then select Data Store section on the side panel. As shown in the screenshot below, Data Store page lists all the data source records used for your chatbot. You can use Search by source to find a particular data source, or use Select a type dropdown to filter by web page or file document types.

Date Store page also includes status above the data store records table, including data storeage usage summaries and rebuild information.

Edit Data Sources

Adding data source is not limited to the same data source type you used to create your chatbot. You can add both web pages and file document data to your chatbot.

Denser sets a maximum limit on the number of web pages for each chatbot. You can find your usage by clicking the Usage button.
