When using Knowledge Connectors on le Chat Team and Enterprise plans (Google Drive, Microsoft Sharepoint), you can connect only specific folders to le Chat rather than the entire drives. This feature is called Selective Sync.
How Selective Sync works
During indexing, you can choose specific folders, sites/libraries, or individual files to include.
🔑 Limiting the scope is good practice for workflow efficiency and prudent resource use.
Prerequisite
As an administrator, you have initiated indexing for a Knowledge Connector (Google Drive or Microsoft Sharepoint).
Select folders or libraries
During configuration, you’ll see a browser for the connected source (e.g., your Google Drive folders, Sharepoint sites/document libraries).
Select all content, or check/uncheck individual drives, folders, subfolders, and files to include in le Chat’s indexing.
Here, you can choose to select all available content or specifically check/uncheck individual drives, folders, subfolders, and files that you want to include in the indexing process for le Chat.
Select the checkboxes next to the specific folders and files you want le Chat to access.
Example of a Google Drive selection (similar for other providers)
After making your selections, you can review them and confirm your selection to index only that content.
Reviewing and confirming Selective Sync before indexing
Using Selective Sync ensures that only relevant and approved content is indexed and accessible through le Chat, aligning with your organization’s data governance and privacy requirements.
📌 Important: To add new folders to an already indexed Knowledge Connector or change your initial selection, you must re-run the indexing setup. Before confirming your initial selection, note that indexing can take from a few minutes to several hours depending on the size of your data.
