# Concierge Simplified: Best Practices You Need to Know

Training isn’t just about uploading all your files — it takes a bit more to build a great sidekick. You’ll still need to organize your files, clean up the content, and test things thoroughly to get the best results. Remember: your sidekick learns from what you give it — the better the input, the better the output.

This document aims to provide the best practices and criteria for organizing content in a file in order to achieve the best results in responses from the Concierge agent.

**Best Practices**

- Name your documents properly. 
    - **Example:** 
          - Before: emp\_handbk.pdf
          - After: Employee Handbook.pdf
- Think like you’re crafting a reviewer for a student when creating a document.
- Include relevant information only. 
    - **Note:** Any type of text formatting is valid, as long as it’s readable.
- Remove redundant and unnecessary labels or statements (e.g. headers, footers, words with no context).
- Remove images as these will be disregarded.
- If important information is in image format, convert it to text.

**Example:**

**![](https://guide.sprout.ph/hs-fs/hubfs/Rich%20Text%20Pasting/google-1748938767083.png?width=624&height=351&name=google-1748938767083.png)**

- Convert information such as FAQs or textual data with descriptions into tables. 
    - **Note:** For each table, always add headers that are descriptive and well represent the data.
- Limit tables to 10 columns max, not exceeding a single page. 
    - No table overlaps (e.g. same table extended to next page)
    - No merged cells for table headers and rows

**Example:**

![](https://guide.sprout.ph/hs-fs/hubfs/Rich%20Text%20Pasting/google-1748938778887.png?width=624&height=351&name=google-1748938778887.png)

- Limit each paragraph to 500 characters max (with highlights as bullets).

**Example:**

**Option 1: 500 characters max per paragraph**

**![](https://guide.sprout.ph/hs-fs/hubfs/Rich%20Text%20Pasting/google-1748938787794.png?width=624&height=351&name=google-1748938787794.png)**

**Option 2: Bulleted form**

**![](https://guide.sprout.ph/hs-fs/hubfs/Rich%20Text%20Pasting/google-1748938797639.png?width=624&height=351&name=google-1748938797639.png)**

 

- When working with presentation slides, group content with the same topic into a single text box.

### **Criteria**

#### **Zendesk URLs**

**Tip:** Make sure to specify the following when entering your Zendesk help center URL: 

- The subdomain name you chose when you set up your account, followed by **zendesk.com/hc**  
    - **Example:**  
          - mycompany.zendesk.com/hc
- The main language based on the locale code in the URL  
    - **Example:**  
          - “.../hc/**en-us**”

**Note:** All articles from a given Zendesk website will be retrieved. If you need to import a specific Zendesk article, add knowledge via the website URL instead.

#### **Files**

- Files should be in PDF, DOCX, PPTX, or HTML format. 
    - **Note:** Old versions of DOC or PPT will not work. Please convert them to DOCX or PPTX.
- Files should not be password-protected.
- File content should be typewritten (editable text that can be copied and pasted, not scanned). 
    - **Note:** Images will be disregarded.
- Max file size for each batch upload should be 50 MB.

 

#### **Website URLs**

**Tip:** Enter any of the following URL types:

- Document URL (PDF, DOCX, PPTX) 
    - **Example:** 
          - https://example.com/file.pdf
- Website URL 
    - **Example:** 
          - https://example.com/page
- Public Google Drive URL (PDF, Docs, Slides) 
    - **Example:** 
          - https://docs.google.com/document/d/abc123

**Note:** Images will be disregarded.

### **Limitations**

**Note:** The whole website will not be imported. Only individual web pages will be retrieved.
