Description

Smart Previews in SmartHub Conversational Search

When using SmartHub conversational search, users will now be able to preview the relevant sources that powered the conversational search bot's response. By clicking the Sources button under the response, a list of documents displays. Selecting one of these documents allows users to go directly to the source or preview the document. When previewing the document, a new panel opens to the right of the conversational search response, opening the preview on the relevant page from the document. For more information on configuring Smart Previews settings for conversational search, see Configure the conversational bot settings in the SmartHub documentation.
