Legacy Components

A list of components that were removed, replaced, or changed as part of our ongoing work to make pipelines easier to build, maintain, and debug. Use this page to find out what changed and how to update your pipelines.

These components are hidden in Builder's component library by default, but if you're still using them in your pipelines, they'll continue to work. You can also show them in the library by clicking More actions next to the search field and choosing Show deprecated components.

To learn how to update your pipelines and remove these components, see Simplify Your Pipelines with Smart Connections.

To access these components in YAML:

  1. Go to Pipelines and find the pipeline that uses the component.
  2. Click More actions next to the pipeline and choose Edit. The pipeline opens in Builder.
  3. In Builder, switch to the YAML editor.

Joiners​

As components now accept connections from multiple outputs of the same list type, the following Joiners are no longer necessary:

  • DocumentJoiner
  • ListJoiner

For more information, see Smart Connections.

OutputAdapter​

With automatic type conversion from string to ChatMessage and the other way around, you can skip the OutputAdapter component in most cases. You'll still need it for:

  • Converting types that are not supported by automatic type conversion.
  • Explicit control over formatting or ordering.

For details, see Smart Connections.

DeepsetChatHistoryParser​

You can now connect the Agent directly to Input's messages connection. messages is augmented with the chat history and the user's query.

AnswerBuilder​

You can connect LLM or Agent directly to Output's messages connection, without the helper component AnswerBuilder.
