Working with Knowledge folders
Find answers to common questions about working with knowledge folders and files in Atlan.
What file formats can I upload?
You can upload PDF and Markdown (.md) files. Support for additional formats is on the roadmap.
What is maximum file size?
Each file can be up to 50 MB.
What happens if I upload file with duplicate name?
The upload is blocked, and the existing file is retained. The upload panel shows the date the original file was uploaded.
Why weren't skills generated for my knowledge file?
Skills are generated for procedural documents such as SOPs, policies, and compliance rules. Descriptive or reference documents are less likely to produce skills. The context agent processing the file also determines the extraction logic. If no skills appear in the file's lineage, the content type may not meet the agent's criteria.
Who can create knowledge folders?
Access is controlled by Persona configuration. If you can't view or create knowledge folders, contact your Atlan administrator to review your permissions.
Can I preview knowledge files without downloading them?
Yes. Open the file's profile page in the catalog to preview its contents.
