Configure Structural Nodes and Chunking

Knowledge1 min read

This stage converts parsed Markdown into semantic nodes and retrieval-ready chunks.

Setting Effect
Max Chunk Tokens Maximum chunk size. Smaller chunks are more focused; larger chunks preserve more surrounding context.
Chunk Overlap Context repeated between neighbouring chunks to reduce boundary loss.

Start with the displayed defaults unless testing shows a retrieval problem. After running the stage, use View / Edit Chunk JSON or Browse Nodes.

Browse Nodes can filter by All, Text, Table, or Summary, filter by page number, search content or section, and expand a node to inspect its text, section path, kind, page, and token count.

If you rerun chunking, review dependent table summaries and enrichment and re-embed before relying on the new output.
