How to update an index for a data source in Azure AI Studio?

Hello,

I have a functioning deployment and web app for a RAG application that I created in Azure AI Studio.  Now I want to update the app to use additional data I have added.  I figured out how to add another version of my data in Azure AI Studio, but can't figure out how to add another version of my index. It seems like versioning is supported. The documentation I found helps with creating data sources/indexes, but not updating.

 

Help answering this or pointing in another direction would be great.

Thanks!

  • Yes, it can be a bit tricky. Here's what you can try.
    Go to your project and select the "Data" tab.
    Click on the three dots next to your existing index and select "Create a new version".
    Make the necessary changes to your index, like adding new fields or updating existing ones.
    Save the new version of your index.
    If that doesn't work, you can also try using the Azure AI Studio API to update your index. Just check out the docs for more info!
    keep in mind that Azure AI Studio is now called Azure Machine Learning. So, you might find more updated docs and resources under that name!

    I have the same exact issue and needed to put in a support request today. Available documentation shows ways to update an index using API requests but that does not suffice.

     

    Using the same AI search index in the playground will overwrite the existing index. I will get back to you once I get a fix.

        Yes I did. I upload new data to my data store (storage account).

        Go to the AI search, look for the indexer and run the index manually.
