Updated August 3, 2026 Β· 5 min

Available statuses

  • Pending: the file is waiting to be processed.
  • Indexing: Inceptiva is extracting and preparing its content.
  • Indexed: the document is ready for use.
  • Error: processing could not be completed.

If an error appears

Confirm that the format is supported, the file opens correctly, and it contains readable text. Remove the failed upload and upload a corrected copy.

Do not test responses until all required sources are indexed. Otherwise, you may incorrectly attribute incomplete knowledge to the agent.
