For a Glean App, you can specify data sources, containers, and documents as a company knowledge source. Apps can have a mix of all these 3 categories to build a highly flexible knowledge base.

Containers

Containers are like folders: they contain other containers or documents. The table below provides a list of data sources, containers, and document types supported by Glean.
