Knowledge scope configuration interface
Knowledge scope controls how much information your Assistant can access beyond your uploaded files. Think of it as setting the knowledge boundaries - from using only your specific documents to accessing the full breadth of AI knowledge. This powerful setting allows you to balance specificity with comprehensiveness based on your teaching goals.

Best Practices

Important: Your knowledge scope setting works in combination with your Assistant’s prompt. Make sure both are aligned with your teaching goals.

Start Conservative

Begin with Document Only or Topic Knowledge to ensure your Assistant stays focused on your course content.

Test and Adjust

Monitor your Assistant’s responses and adjust the knowledge scope if needed based on student feedback.

Review Regularly

Periodically review your knowledge scope setting as your course content and goals evolve.

Enable Source Citations

Turn on source citations to gain visibility into which knowledge files your Assistant uses. This helps identify gaps in your content and ensures responses are grounded in your materials.
