# Manage Document Chunks

> Learn how to manage and enhance document chunks for improved knowledge base performance

## Understanding Document Chunks

When you upload a document to your knowledge base, the system automatically divides it into smaller segments called "chunks." This chunking process is crucial for:

* **Improved LLM Processing**: Allows large language models to process manageable portions of text.
* **Enhanced Retrieval**: Enables more precise information retrieval by pinpointing relevant sections.
* **Optimized Performance**: Reduces computational load and improves response times.

## Accessing Document Chunks

<Steps>
  <Step title="Navigate to Knowledge">
    Go to the Knowledge section in the main navigation menu.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Select Knowledge Base">
    Choose the specific knowledge base containing your document.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Open Document">
    Click on the document you want to manage to view its chunks.
  </Step>

  <Step title="View Chunks">

    chunks derived from the original document.
  </Step>
</Steps>

## Enhancing Document Chunks

Improve the quality of your chunks for better matching by enriching their metadata:

<Steps>
  <Step title="Open Chunk Editor">

    Click on a specific chunk to open the editing interface.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Review Fields">
    Examine the automatically generated metadata fields.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Modify Information">
    Update or add details to enhance searchability and context.
  </Step>

## Search Types

When querying your knowledge base, you can utilize different search methods:

<CardGroup cols={3}>
  <Card title="Hybrid Search" icon="zoom-in">
    Combines semantic understanding with keyword matching. Ideal for balancing
    context-aware results with exact matches.
  </Card>

  <Card title="Full Text Search" icon="type">
    Focuses on exact keyword matches within the text. Best for finding specific
    terms or phrases.
  </Card>

  <Card title="Semantic Search" icon="brain">
    Emphasizes understanding the meaning and context of the query. Excellent for
    natural language queries and user intent.
  </Card>
</CardGroup>

Choose the search type that best fits your specific use case and the nature of your queries to optimize your knowledge base performance.
