Q&A answers seem wrong or outdated
3 min readUpdated
Overview If the Docs → Ask panel gives an answer that feels wrong, missing details, or outdated, you can quickly improve results. Use three tools:
- Refresh indexing so Moxie Docs sees the latest docs
- Add context with search and links in your question
- Send feedback with tags to teach the system what went wrong
Before you start
- Make sure the docs you expect to see are already merged into your GitHub repository. Moxie indexes what’s in the repo.
- Refresh indexing to pull in recent doc changes If answers mention old behavior, start by refreshing indexing so the Q&A panel uses the latest docs.
- Open Moxie Docs and go to the Docs workspace.
- In the left navigation, open Docs → Ask.
- At the top of the Ask panel, select Refresh or Reindex (if you see the refresh control). If you don’t see a refresh control, wait a few minutes after your repo changes merge; Moxie updates indexing on its own.
- Ask your question again.
Tip: If your team recently merged large documentation updates, give indexing a short window to complete before retrying.
- Add context to your question for better answers Clear, specific questions lead to better results, especially in big repositories.
- In Docs → Ask, enter a focused question. Example: “How do we authenticate the CLI in v2?” instead of “How does auth work?”
- Include names of relevant components, file or page titles, or version labels that appear in your docs.
- Use the Docs workspace search bar to find the most relevant doc pages. Skim the results.
- Copy a doc page title or link from search and paste it into your question to steer the answer toward the right material.
- Use feedback tags to improve future answers Every answer has a feedback widget.
- Under the answer, select thumbs up or thumbs down.
- If you choose thumbs down, pick one or more tags:
- Wrong: The content isn’t correct.
- Missing context: The answer is too vague or skipped key details.
- Outdated: The answer reflects old behavior or versions.
- (Optional) Add a short comment that explains what should change. Examples: “We renamed this flag to --token,” or “Use v2 endpoints now.”
- Submit. Your feedback helps Moxie tune future answers and prioritize doc improvements.
- When to use search instead of Q&A For quick lookups of a known topic, search can be faster.
- Go to the Docs workspace.
- Use the search bar to enter keywords, component names, or page titles.
- Open the most relevant page to verify details, then return to Docs → Ask if you still need a synthesized answer.
- If answers are still off after refreshing
- Re-ask with added context and links from search results.
- Confirm the correct information exists in your repo docs. If it doesn’t, update the docs in GitHub. After merge, refresh indexing and try again.
FAQ
- Will feedback change the current answer right away? Not always. Feedback improves future answers and helps your team keep docs accurate over time.
- Do I need special permissions? You can use Docs → Ask, search, and feedback in the Docs workspace. Updating the source docs requires GitHub access in your repo.
