About This Task

You can update draft indexes that have not yet been enabled. Once an index is enabled, it becomes read-only. To make changes to an enabled index, you have two options:

• Duplicate the index, update the copy, and keep the original index enabled and unaffected. When you're ready, enable the updated copy and connect your pipelines to it. This way, you can switch without any downtime. We recommend this approach.
• Disable the index, which removes all associated indexing data and temporarily prevents any query pipelines from accessing it. With this approach, you must wait until the updated index is re-enabled and indexing is complete before running queries again.

Edit an Index in Pipeline Builder

1. Log in to deepset AI Platform and open Indexes.

2. Find the index you want to update and make sure it's disabled.

3. Click More Actions next to the index and choose Edit. The index opens in Pipeline Builder where you can update it.

   

What To Do Next

Once your index is updated, enable it and wait until indexing finishes.

Link your pipelines to the updated index. For details, see Edit a Pipeline.
