FAQ & Troubleshooting¶
This section answers common questions and provides practical guidance for resolving typical issues in CORA.
Frequently asked questions¶
Why do I see different answers between Explore and Interpret?¶
Explore mode is designed for discovery across sources.
Interpret mode is anchored to a specific document and version.
If you need precise, version-locked answers, always use Interpret mode or work inside a Compliance Project.
Why is my answer missing citations?¶
This usually happens when: - The question is too broad or ambiguous - The system cannot reliably ground the answer in a specific source
To resolve this: - Rephrase the question more narrowly - Ask for a specific clause, article, or section - Open cited sources whenever accuracy matters
Answers without citations should be treated as unverified.
Troubleshooting¶
Uploading a document takes a long time¶
- Large documents may require additional processing time
- If possible, split very large files into smaller, logical parts
- Ensure your network connection is stable during upload
I cannot find a document in the Library¶
- Confirm the document exists in the CORA corpus available in your environment
- Search using a document identifier (e.g., regulation number or standard code)
- Use filters (document type, date, status) to narrow results
Project answers are not using the documents I expected¶
Check the following: - The relevant documents are linked to the project - You are asking questions inside the project (Project Context mode) - If available, the scope is not limited to a subset that excludes those documents
I opened a citation but the context feels wrong¶
- Internal citations stay within the same document
- External citations open a different document in a sub-tab
- Verify which document and version you are currently working in before continuing
Still stuck?¶
If the issue persists: - Review the relevant mode documentation (Explore, Interpret, Project Context) - Check citation and grounding information - Contact your CORA administrator or support team
