Sync

Sync means keeping DocLD’s documents and index in step with an external source. A connector can sync from cloud storage or an app so new and updated files are ingested automatically; you can also sync by re-uploading files or triggering reindex when content changes.

How Sync Works

• Connector sync — The connector periodically or continuously checks the source, uploads new or changed documents, and removes or updates entries when files are deleted or modified at the source.
• Manual / API sync — You upload or replace documents via the API or dashboard and optionally reindex to refresh the vector index.
• Bidirectional — Sync is typically one-way (source → DocLD). Exports (e.g. CSV export) are separate from sync.

Keeping data in sync ensures RAG and search reflect the latest content without stale or missing documents.

Connector automates sync from supported sources. Ingestion is the process of bringing documents in; reindex updates the index for existing documents.
