Hello @Dongnc1017! I'm here to help you with any bugs, questions, or contributions you have. Let's tackle this issue together!

I found a similar issue regarding the citation and attribution feature not working as expected. The problem might be related to your prompt configuration or retrieval settings. Here are some steps you can take to resolve the issue:

1. Verify Retrieval Settings:

   • Ensure that the retrieval method and parameters (such as the TopK value and recall threshold) are correctly configured. These settings affect the recall of relevant segments from the knowledge base.

2. Test Retrieval:

   • Use the retrieval testing feature to confirm that the knowledge base is correctly recalling relevant segments for common user questions.

3. Check Prompt Configuration:

   • Make sure your prompt is designed to encourage the chatbot to cite sources. It should explicitly instruct the chatbot to include citations from the knowledge base.

4. Enable Citation and Attribution:

   • Go to Workspace -- Add Function -- Citation and Attribution to enable the feature. After enabling, you should see specific citation information below the response content.

5. Debugging Tools:

   • Review interaction logs to identify where the attribution may have gone wrong and enable citation attribution debugging to view specific citation details.

These steps should help improve the likelihood of the chatbot citing sources from your knowledge base ^[1].
