Knowledge sources: posts written from your approved documents

Knowledge sources keep posts accurate on specialist topics. You add the documents you approve to the site; when SEOAsist writes a post it finds the sections that fit the topic and takes technical claims, numbers, product and feature names only from these sources.

#Adding a source

1. Open Content › Settings.
2. In the Knowledge sources card pick a method:
   • File: PDF, DOCX (Word), Markdown or TXT; up to 10 MB.
   • Link: a web page address; the page's main text is taken.
   • Text: paste an approved text (at least 40 characters).
3. The source is split into sections; the list shows how many.

The file itself is not stored, only its text, in sections. Scanned (image) PDFs have no text layer and cannot be added.

#How posts use them

• Writing: when a new post is written, the sections that best fit its title and target keywords are given to the model. It takes technical details only from them; when a source lacks a detail, it does not invent one and stays general.
• Verification: numbers and claims in the post come with “Verify” markers. Markers whose text appears in a source are resolved automatically; the rest stay marked for you to check. Nothing is deleted automatically.
• Editor: a “Written from” line above the post shows which documents were used.

#Effect on E-E-A-T

When the site has at least one source, the Expertise pillar gets the Based on approved sources check: a post drawn from two or more sources gets full points, one source partial points. Sites without sources are not scored on it, so nobody is penalised.

#Limits

• Up to 10 MB per file.
• Deleting a source doesn't change posts already written.

#Are sources used for page updates too?

No. In this version they are used for blog posts. Page updates stay bound to the page's current text.

#Can sources be added through the API or MCP?

Yes. Link and text sources can be added through the REST API and MCP (list_knowledge, add_knowledge). Files are uploaded in the panel only.
