TABLE OF CONTENTS
Overview
The Google Docs source brings approved document content into Stack Internal knowledge features. The content enters the product path used to prepare information for search and retrieval. Protected access checks apply when content is added. Stack Internal then turns the content into searchable knowledge records for use by product features. The source keeps its role focused on bringing approved document content into Stack Internal rather than providing a separate end-user experience.
Document content
The source handles the document content selected for use in Stack Internal. That content is accepted by the product and prepared for knowledge features. Stack Internal stores the resulting knowledge records in its product database and search store so the information can be found when needed.
Protected access
Content functions use authenticated access through Stack Internal's identity provider. This verifies the user or connected application before protected content work begins. The access check applies to the connection that adds approved document content to Stack Internal.
Knowledge preparation
After document content enters Stack Internal, the product prepares it for search and retrieval. This creates searchable knowledge records that product features can use. The process is designed around the selected document content rather than around a separate customer-facing source interface.
