When configuring Questions and Answers, you choose whether content is generated from specific sources or from all sources in your domain. This helps ensure that answers are relevant to the content you want to expose in your Search experience.

This enables you to: 

• Generate Q&A items using documents from a single source, giving you more control over how answers are constructed. 

• Use the question and answer group ID as the widget’s‘rfk_id’ to return results from only that group, ensuring that responses are relevant even when multiple sources are indexed within the same domain. 

• Alternatively, continue to generate Q&A items using all sources when a broader knowledge base is required. 

This feature supports both offline and online Q&A generation, ensuring that new Q&A items are aligned with the selected source configuration.

• Delta crawling now removes indexed documents for URLs that have been deleted from a sitemap, helping prevent outdated content from appearing in search results.
