How to Add, Import, and Export Q&A in a Library in BoldDesk
The Q&A section in a BoldDesk library lets you manage question-and-answer content used by your AI Agent. From the selected library, you can:
- Add Q&A manually
- Import Q&A in bulk from a supported file
- Export Q&A from the library
If you are moving existing Q&A content into a library in BoldDesk, you can use the Export option in the source Q&A section to download the data and then import that file into the required library.
This helps you move existing Q&A content more easily without recreating each entry manually.
