--- title: Knowledge app modules slug: knowledge-app-modules docTags: createdAt: 2026-06-10T15:55:34.252Z --- Use **Knowledge **modules to upload, update, delete, search, and view details about your knowledge files. This section is a reference for these modules and their settings. ## Add Knowledge modules to scenarios You can add **Knowledge **modules to scenarios in three ways: - In an AI agent scenario after the **Make AI Agent (New)** > **Run an agent **module - In an AI agent scenario as a tool for the **Make AI Agent (New)** > **Run an agent **module - In a standard scenario on its own or with other **Knowledge **modules ## Modules Use **Knowledge **modules to upload, update, delete, search, and view details about your knowledge files. ### Append knowledge text The **Knowledge **> **Append knowledge** **text **module adds content to the end of an existing file. Supported file types include .txt and .md. :::hint{type="info"} **Tip**: Your agent can use this module to regularly update its knowledge. ::: ::::VerticalSplit{layout="left"} :::VerticalSplitItem **Select file** ::: :::VerticalSplitItem Select an existing text-based file to update or append. ::: :::: ::::VerticalSplit{layout="left"} :::VerticalSplitItem **Content** ::: :::VerticalSplitItem Enter the text to add to the end of the file. ::: :::: ### Delete knowledge The **Knowledge **> **Delete knowledge **module deletes a file from the knowledge base. ::::VerticalSplit{layout="left"} :::VerticalSplitItem **File ID** ::: :::VerticalSplitItem Specify the ID of the file to delete, or let the agent decide. ::: :::: ### Update knowledge file The **Knowledge **> **Update knowledge file **replaces the content of an existing file that has the same file type. For example, it replaces one PDF with another PDF. ::::VerticalSplit{layout="left"} :::VerticalSplitItem **Select file** ::: :::VerticalSplitItem Select the existing file to replace. ::: :::: ::::VerticalSplit{layout="left"} :::VerticalSplitItem **File** ::: :::VerticalSplitItem Map the value corresponding to the file content from a previous download file module, for example, `Data`. ::: :::: ### Update knowledge text The **Knowledge **> **Update knowledge text **replaces the text content of an existing text file. Supported file types include .txt and .md. ::::VerticalSplit{layout="left"} :::VerticalSplitItem **Select file** ::: :::VerticalSplitItem Select the existing file to replace. ::: :::: ::::VerticalSplit{layout="left"} :::VerticalSplitItem **Content** ::: :::VerticalSplitItem Enter the text to replace the existing file with. ::: :::: ### Upload knowledge file The **Knowledge** > **Upload knowledge** file adds a file to the knowledge base. **Prerequisites** - Add a download file module before this module to map the file name and content. Use it when: - You want a separate scenario to manage knowledge - You want to automate knowledge uploads from external sources like Google Drive :::hint{type="info"} The **Upload knowledge file** module is an alternative to manually uploading knowledge files. See [Knowledge files for AI agents](docId\:f4W8zW-q6vkeA18D0Rmmi) for all options for uploading knowledge files and step-by-step instructions. ::: ::::VerticalSplit{layout="left"} :::VerticalSplitItem **File name** ::: :::VerticalSplitItem Name the file, or map the value corresponding to the file name from a previous download file module. ::: :::: ::::VerticalSplit{layout="left"} :::VerticalSplitItem **File content** ::: :::VerticalSplitItem Map the value corresponding to the file content from a previous download file module, for example, `Data`. ::: :::: ### Upload knowledge text The **Knowledge **> **Upload knowledge text **module adds a text file to the knowledge base. Give the agent text to turn into a file. ::::VerticalSplit{layout="left"} :::VerticalSplitItem **File name** ::: :::VerticalSplitItem Name the file. ::: :::: ::::VerticalSplit{layout="left"} :::VerticalSplitItem **File content** ::: :::VerticalSplitItem Paste text into this field to turn it into a file when you run the module. ::: :::: ### Get knowledge The **Knowledge **> **Get knowledge **module retrieves details about a specific knowledge file (metadata), such as name, description, date, and ID. View this information in the output bundle of the module. Use it when: - You need the file ID of a specific file to use in other modules - You want to see when a file was last updated - You're debugging knowledge file issues ::::VerticalSplit{layout="left"} :::VerticalSplitItem **File** ::: :::VerticalSplitItem Select an existing file to get its metadata. ::: :::: ### List knowledge files The **Knowledge **> **List knowledge files** module shows all files in an agent's knowledge base. Use it when: - You want to see all available files - You want the file IDs of multiple files - You want to see order files based on name, size, and upload date ::::VerticalSplit{layout="left"} :::VerticalSplitItem **Order by** ::: :::VerticalSplitItem Specify how the agent orders the returned files. ::: :::: ::::VerticalSplit{layout="left"} :::VerticalSplitItem **Limit** ::: :::VerticalSplitItem Specify the number of files you want to return. Alternatively, leave this field empty to return all files. ::: :::: ### Query knowledge Use the **Knowledge **> **Query knowledge **module to ask a question about the files in the agent's knowledge base. Use it when: - You want to test the information your agent can find in your files - You're debugging why the agent isn't retrieving the right information ::::VerticalSplit{layout="left"} :::VerticalSplitItem **Search query** ::: :::VerticalSplitItem Ask a question about an existing file, like how you would interact with an AI search engine or chatbot. Alternatively, if you ask this question in the **Make AI Agent (New)** > **Run an agent **module, in **Input**, let the agent decide. ::: :::: ::::VerticalSplit{layout="left"} :::VerticalSplitItem **Files** ::: :::VerticalSplitItem Add existing knowledge files for the agent to search in, or leave empty to search all files. ::: :::: ::::VerticalSplit{layout="left"} :::VerticalSplitItem **Limit** ::: :::VerticalSplitItem Specify the number of results (chunks) the agent outputs, or let the agent decide. ::: ::::
