Data Source Types

Data source types define where Cognipeer can collect knowledge from and how that content is synchronized for use by your Peers. Choose the type that matches your content location, authentication model, and update pattern.

Files & Documents

File - Upload documents and files for Peer knowledge
AWS S3 - Connect file collections stored in S3 buckets

Web & Media

Web Page - Add individual web pages as knowledge sources
Website - Crawl and synchronize full websites
YouTube - Use YouTube content as a data source

Code & Workspaces

GitHub - Connect repositories from GitHub
GitLab - Connect repositories from GitLab
Bitbucket - Connect Bitbucket repositories
Azure DevOps - Connect Azure DevOps repositories

Business Systems

Confluence - Synchronize team documentation and spaces
QDMS - Connect quality document management content
Custom - Integrate your own data source workflow

Choosing a Data Source Type

Use file sources for controlled document sets, policies, PDFs, and internal reference material.
Use website sources when the content is already published and needs to stay synchronized over time.
Use repository sources when Peers need access to code, technical documentation, or project history.
Use business system sources when knowledge lives in existing operational platforms.
Use custom sources when your data requires a dedicated integration path.

Getting Started

Start with the source that contains your most reliable content. After connecting a source, review sync results, test retrieval in the datasource playground, and adjust security settings before using it broadly with Peers.

Ready to connect knowledge? Start with File, Website, or Custom depending on where your content is stored.
