DOCUMENT KNOWLEDGE REVIEW · Workflow idea

Find helpful passages in approved documents while keeping source access and uncertainty clear.

For a private knowledge collection, let an authorized owner add approved PDFs and help permitted readers locate passages relevant to a question. Preserve each document’s access rules and version date, cite the supporting pages, and say plainly when the collection has no reliable answer. Treat document text as untrusted content, minimize retained questions and conversation history, and route legal, medical, financial, safety, and other consequential decisions to a qualified person.

Keep in mind

Documents may be stale, incomplete, or restricted to a different audience, and a plausible answer may still be wrong. Enforce document permissions, keep citations and version dates visible, report missing evidence, protect conversation history, and have a qualified person review high-impact questions.

Set the brief.
Set the standard.

A few choices shape the work around your team.
