# Company Knowledge
> Search across your connected integrations to find answers in your company's documents, messages, and data.
# Company Knowledge
Company Knowledge is a powerful search tool that finds information across all your connected integrations. Instead of searching each tool separately, ask a question and Langdock searches Google Drive, SharePoint, Confluence, Slack, email, and more simultaneously.
**Best for**: Finding documents, searching emails, locating files across multiple platforms, researching company information, and getting answers from your organization's knowledge base.
## Supported Integrations
Company Knowledge can search across the following connected integrations:
| Integration | What It Searches |
| ------------------- | -------------------------------------------- |
| **Google Drive** | Documents, spreadsheets, presentations, PDFs |
| **SharePoint** | Documents, sites, libraries |
| **OneDrive** | Files and folders |
| **Confluence** | Pages, spaces, attachments |
| **Gmail** | Email threads and messages |
| **Outlook** | Emails and calendar events |
| **Slack** | Channel messages, conversations |
| **Microsoft Teams** | Chat messages, channel discussions |
| **Linear** | Issues, projects, team information |
| **Google Calendar** | Events and meeting details |
You need to connect these integrations in your workspace settings before they appear in Company Knowledge. Only integrations you have access to will be searchable.
## How to Use Company Knowledge
### Activate Company Knowledge
To use Company Knowledge, click the **Company knowledge** button in the chat input bar.
When you click it for the first time, the integration selector opens automatically so you can choose which sources to search.
## Select your sources
The integration selector shows all your connected work tools. Use the toggles to choose which platforms you want to include in your search.
You can:
* **Toggle integrations on/off:** Only selected sources will be searched.
* **Manage Connections:** If you have multiple accounts (e.g., two Google accounts), choose which one to use.
* **Save preferences:** Your selections are remembered for next time.
You need at least one integration selected to use Company Knowledge.
### Ask Your Question
Write your question naturally - the AI will search your connected sources and synthesize an answer:
```text theme={null}
What did Sarah say about the API changes in Slack?
```
```text theme={null}
Find the Q4 sales report from the marketing folder
```
```text theme={null}
Find the meeting notes from last week's team sync
```
## Understand the results
When you send a message with Company Knowledge active, a timeline panel opens on the side showing the search progress in real-time.
The panel has two tabs:
* **Timeline:** Shows each search step, which platforms are being queried, what documents are being read, and how the answer is being formed.
* **Sources:** Lists all the documents and messages that were found, with direct links to open them in their original apps.
This transparency lets you verify where information comes from and explore the source documents yourself.
### Select Specific Sources
By default, Company Knowledge searches all your connected integrations. To search specific sources:
1. Click the integration selector next to the Company Knowledge tool
2. Select only the integrations you want to search
3. Your search will be limited to those sources
## How It Works
When you ask a question with Company Knowledge enabled:
1. **Query Analysis**: The AI determines what you're looking for
2. **Multi-Source Search**: Searches are executed across selected integrations in parallel
3. **Result Ranking**: Results are ranked by relevance to your question
4. **Content Retrieval**: Relevant documents are fetched and analyzed
5. **Answer Synthesis**: The AI generates a comprehensive answer with citations
## Best Practices
Include details like dates, people's names, or project names to get more accurate results.
❌ "Find the document"
✅ "Find the product roadmap document from March 2024"
If you know where the information is likely to be, select only those integrations. This speeds up the search and improves relevance.
You don't need to use special search syntax. Ask questions the way you'd ask a colleague.
After getting initial results, ask follow-up questions to dig deeper into specific documents or topics.
## Privacy and Permissions
