Documentation

Configurable frontend node; ingestion planned

Document Loader

Represent files or other document inputs at the beginning of a RAG pipeline.

Category: Input. Registry label: Document Loader. Supported format labels: PDF, DOCX, TXT, CSV, MD.

Purpose #

A document-loading stage makes source information available to downstream processing. In the Basic RAG and Hybrid Search templates, Document Loader is the first node in the chain.

Position in the graph #

Document Loader → Chunker

Design guidance #

Choose this node when your pipeline starts from documents. Check that it has a valid outgoing connection to the next processing stage. Use the Documents and onboarding previews to understand file selection without assuming that data has already been ingested.

Current limitation #

File selection and related UI are metadata-only previews. No backend upload, parsing, storage, or ingestion job is executed by this node in the current frontend.

Chunker, Select documents.
