# Q&A Tables

> Add structured question-answer pairs to your chatbot's knowledge base.

Q\&A tables let you define explicit question-answer pairs. Each row becomes a retrievable chunk in the knowledge base — when a visitor asks something similar to one of your questions, the matching answer is retrieved and used by the AI.

## Adding a Q\&A Table

<Steps>
  <Step title="Open Knowledge Base tab">
    Go to your chatbot → **Knowledge Base** tab.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Click Add Source → Table">
    A table editor opens with **Question** and **Answer** columns.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Add entries">
    Type your questions and corresponding answers. Each row is independent.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Save">
    Click **Save**. Each Q\&A pair is embedded as a separate chunk.
  </Step>
</Steps>

## Editing Entries

Q\&A tables can be edited in place. Open the table source, add/edit/delete rows, and save. Changes are re-embedded automatically.

## When to Use Q\&A Tables

| Use Case            | Example                                                         |
| ------------------- | --------------------------------------------------------------- |
| **Known FAQs**      | "What are your business hours?" → "We're open Mon–Fri 9am–5pm." |
| **Precise answers** | Questions where you want a specific, word-perfect response      |
| **Corrections**     | Override the AI's general knowledge with your specific answer   |
| **Edge cases**      | Uncommon questions that other sources don't cover               |

## Q\&A Tables vs Other Sources

| Feature           | Q\&A Tables      | Texts          | Documents      |
| ----------------- | ---------------- | -------------- | -------------- |
| Structured format | Yes (rows)       | No (free text) | No (file)      |
| Inline editing    | Yes              | Yes            | No (re-upload) |
| Best for          | Exact Q\&A pairs | Longer content | Existing files |
| Chunk granularity | 1 chunk per row  | Auto-chunked   | Auto-chunked   |

<Tip>
  Q\&A tables are best for precise, short answers. For longer content (explanations, guides, policies), use Texts or Documents instead — the auto-chunking produces better retrieval results.
