Troubleshooting
By following these recommendations, you can minimize downtime and ensure a smooth workflow within Content AI .
Import Failures
Invalid URL Error:
- Verify URL is accessible in browser
- Check URL format (include https://)
- Ensure no typos in URL
Timeout Error:
- Large documents may take longer
- Wait for full 15-minute timeout
- Check background job status manually if needed
Access Denied Error:
- Source website may block automated access
- Check for authentication requirements
- Try manual copy/paste instead
Content Not Extracted:
- Website may use JavaScript rendering
- Consider manual content creation
- Check source page structure
Publication Issues
Publication Timeout:
- Check background job status in admin panel
- Large document sets take longer
- Maximum wait: 10 minutes before timeout
Failed Publication Job:
- Review error message in notification
- Check server logs for details
- Verify database connectivity
- Retry publication
Stuck Process:
- Refresh page to check actual status
- Check if changes actually published
- Contact administrator if persists
Reindexing your content set from the Publication System often resolves synchronization or metadata issues.
Document Changes Not Appearing
Problem: Saved changes but users don’t see updates.
Cause: Changes not published yet.
Solution:
- Check for Unpublished Changes banner
- Navigate to Document List
- Click “Publish” button
- Wait for publication to complete
Monitoring and Troubleshooting Scheduled documents
Daily Checks:
- Review Document List for status changes
- Verify SCHEDULED → PUBLISHED transitions occurred
- Check PUBLISHED → UNPUBLISHED deactivations happened
- Test assistant responses with recently activated content
Use Calendar Reminders:
- Set reminders day before activation
- Set reminders day of activation
- Set reminders day before deactivation
- Allows quick verification
Common Issues
1. Document Didn’t Activate
Possible Causes:
- Activation date was in UTC, timezone confusion
- Document was DRAFT, not SCHEDULED
- Document wasn’t published before activation date
- System task delay (rare)
Solution:
- Check document status in Document List
- Verify activation date and compare with current UTC time
- Publish if document is still READY/SCHEDULED
- Contact support if persistent issue
2. Content Activated Too Early/Late
Cause:
- Timezone confusion between local time and UTC
Solution:
- Always work in UTC when setting dates
- Use timezone converter tools
- Document your timezone offset for reference
- Set dates accounting for UTC offset
3. Can’t Change Activation Date
Cause:
- Document is already PUBLISHED (field locked)
Solution:
- This is expected behavior for data integrity
- If absolutely necessary: delete and recreate
- For future: plan dates carefully before first publication
4. Deactivation Didn’t Occur
Possible Causes:
- Deactivation date not set
- Date was in past (system won’t retroactively deactivate)
- System task delay
Solution:
- Check deactivation date is set and future
- Manually change to DRAFT if urgent
- Contact support if system issue
System Task Timing: Activation and deactivation checks run as scheduled system tasks (typically hourly). There may be a brief delay between the exact date/time and when the status change occurs. This is normal and usually happens within an hour.
