Select the application you want to try.
- Navigate to the Knowledge tab of your copilot.
- From previous labs, you may see existing knowledge sources, such as public websites. - **[https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/microsoft-copilot-studio/](https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/microsoft-copilot-studio/)**
- **[https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/microsoft-copilot/](https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/microsoft-copilot/)**
-
Select Add knowledge.
-
Consider adding a new website, such as https://adoption.microsoft.com/en-us/.
Make sure each knowledge source has a good name and explicit description of what it can return.
Pro tips:
- When using the default built-in natural language understanding model, knowledge sources are invoked from the Create generative answers node. By default, user sentences that don’t trigger a topic will go to the Conversational boosting topic, where a generative answers node is pre-configured.
- When generative AI orchestration is enabled, the large language model will look at each knowledge source model description to know what data source to use to answer a user query.
