Add Documents to a Graph

You can add documents to an existing graph without rebuilding it from scratch. Existing entities and relationships are preserved; new content is extracted and merged.

Prerequisites

• An existing graph with status Completed
• Graphs that are still processing cannot be updated

From the graph detail page

1. Navigate to Graphs and click on the graph you want to update
2. Click Update in the top-right corner
3. In the dialog:
   • Add Documents: Select documents to add (documents already in the graph are grayed out)
   • Add Folders: Select folders—all new documents in those folders will be added
   • Additional Metadata Filters: Optional JSON filters for advanced selection
4. Click Update Graph

If you select folders that contain documents already in the graph, a confirmation dialog shows how many will be skipped versus added.

From the files page

1. Navigate to Files
2. Select one or more documents using the checkboxes
3. Click the Graph button in the toolbar
4. Choose an existing graph from the dropdown
5. Confirm the update

What happens during an update

The update process:

1. Identifies which documents are new (skips duplicates automatically)
2. Extracts entities and relationships from the new documents
3. Runs entity resolution to merge duplicates with existing graph data
4. Preserves all existing entities and relationships

During processing, the Overview tab shows:

• Existing entity/relationship counts (preserved)
• New entities/relationships being extracted
• Number of documents being added
