# Visibility ## Description The Visibility setting lets you control whether learners can open the exact source documents an agent retrieved to answer their questions. When visibility is on, the chat shows a **Retrieved Documents** side panel where users can click and read those files. When visibility is off, the agent still uses the resource for answers, but users cannot see or open it—ideal for proprietary, assessment, or advanced materials. ![](/images/visibility.png) --- ## Target Audience **Administrator** --- ## Features #### Per‑Resource Eye Icon An eye icon (**👁️ = visible**, **👁️‍🗨️ = hidden**) next to every dataset entry toggles learner access with a single click. #### Side‑Panel Source List Visible resources appear in a **side panel** after the agent answers, giving learners direct access to primary materials. #### Non‑Destructive Control Hiding a document never removes it from the agent’s training; it only affects learner visibility. #### Instant Updates Changes to the eye icon apply **immediately**—no retraining required unless you re‑enable a previously hidden file. --- ## How to Use (step by step) #### Open the Datasets Tab - Click the agent’s name → **Settings** → **Datasets** #### Locate the Resource - Scroll or search for the **file, URL, or cloud link** you want to adjust #### Toggle Visibility - **👁️** (no slash) → learners **see the document** - **👁️‍🗨️** (with slash) → learners **cannot open the document** Click the icon to switch states: - Turning **Off** hides the resource (agent still uses it) - Turning **On** reveals it again in the side panel #### Verify in Chat (Optional) - Ask a question related to the resource - If **visibility is On**, the source appears in **Retrieved Documents** - If **Off**, the panel shows no link to that file --- ## Pedagogical Use Cases #### Transparent Learning & Citation Practice Make scholarly articles visible so users can **read and cite original sources**. #### Scaffolded Disclosure Start a unit with visibility **off** to prevent spoilers, then toggle **on** for deeper study. #### Assessment Security Hide **answer keys or test banks** while still letting the agent reference them for feedback. #### Proprietary Material Control Keep **licensed or sensitive documents hidden** for external cohorts. #### Adaptive Resource Sharing Reveal supplementary readings only to **learners who ask advanced questions**, preserving focus for beginners. --- By deciding which datasets are **visible**, you strike the perfect balance between **learner transparency** and **content control**—all while keeping the agent’s full knowledge base intact.
