Reindexing document content
You need to reindex your documents when the embedding model changes or when you remove document classes from the vector index.
Before you begin
About this task
After you change the embedding model for an object store, the newly added documents are indexed automatically. However, you need to reindex existing documents.
Similarly, when you remove a document class type from the vector index, the newly added documents of the selected type are not indexed. However, you need to reindex all existing documents to remove indexes for the selected document class type.
Procedure
Follow the steps to reindex your existing document content:
- Enable vector indexing for the object store to reindex new documents that are
added to the object store. When you enable vector indexing for an object store, a new index is created for all new documents that are added to the object store. For more information, see the topic Changing the Content Assistant index status for an object store.
- Run a custom vector index job sweep to reindex all the existing documents in the object
store. When you enable vector indexing for an object store in Step 1, only new documents are re-indexed. You need to run a custom job sweep to reindex existing documents. For more information, see the topic (Optional) Running a custom job sweep for vector indexing existing documents.
