Dify version

0.3.30

Cloud or Self Hosted

Cloud

Steps to reproduce

  1. Upload a file and wait for it to index
  2. Wait for a couple of months
  3. The file will be automtically disabled by the system and the index count will be Zero
  4. Try to enable the file again

✔️ Expected Behavior

The file should re-index its content

Actual Behavior

The file count is still Zero

Here I pressed "Enable" on all old files that became stale and got disabled, but the index count remained Zero

The only workaround is to upload the files again

the retrieval count is not the index count, retrieval count mean how many times the document has been retrievered. You can check the documents' status at Retrieval Testing

My bad for the misunderstanding

I uploaded those documents more than 6 months ago. When I tried to test my existing chatbot tied to those Knowledge Docs, it didnt hit any doc, because no citations exist. So I went to the Knowledge and found all files got disabled. So I thought it must be an automated thing to save on space for idle accounts. So I enabled all files. Waited a bit and went back to ask the chatbot but still zero hits.

When I tried today, however, everything works extremely well!! I would say even better than the same GPT I have on chatgpt with the same files. The rerank using cohere is making a lot of difference apparently!

Cheers 🍻
