  1. Open Explore → Datasets and find Knowledge Packs.

  3. Download the pack and install the embedding model if prompted.
  4. Wait until indexing completes before selecting it in chat.

Use a pack in chat

Select the pack as the active dataset or arm Dataset Search with a tool-capable model. Retrieved passages include source information and relevance scores, but you should still open the underlying text for important decisions.

Offline and Autopilot behavior

Downloading a pack requires network access. Indexing, semantic search, and local-model generation happen on-device afterward.

Knowledge Pack excerpts stay local in Autopilot by default. They are sent to a remote stronger model only when you explicitly allow escalation for knowledge-base chats.

Refresh or delete

Use Dataset Health to rebuild stale or incomplete extraction, chunks, and embeddings. Deleting a pack removes its downloaded source files and local retrieval index; it can be installed again later.
