How to remove or replace a file from the Document? about kernel-memory HOT 6 CLOSED

@xbotter have you considere using tags and filters?

E.g. rather than multiple files in the one document, uploading multiple documents with the same tag:

var knowledgeBase1 = "001":
var knowledgeBase2 = "ABC":

await memory.ImportDocumentAsync(new Document()
            .AddFile("file1.pdf").AddTag("KnowledgeBase", knowledgeBase1));

await memory.ImportDocumentAsync(new Document()
            .AddFile("file2.pdf").AddTag("KnowledgeBase", knowledgeBase1));

await memory.ImportDocumentAsync(new Document()
            .AddFile("file3.pdf").AddTag("KnowledgeBase", knowledgeBase1));

await memory.ImportDocumentAsync(new Document()
            .AddFile("foobar.docx").AddTag("KnowledgeBase", knowledgeBase2));

var answer = await memory.AskAsync(question, 
                                   MemoryFilters.ByTag("KnowledgeBase", knowledgeBase1));

Currently there's no API to directly edit the content of a document, and we use the ImportDocumentAsync API to refresh the document, passing the original Document ID, re-uploading the document without the file to remove.

We'll improve this area soon :-)

We added the ability to delete documents. It doesn't fully address your question but it might help if you put one file per document.

In my use case, I am trying to use Document as a knowledge database that can be managed in the form of maintaining files.
This requires performing operations to add, delete, and replace files in the Document.

I wonder if this scenario can be supported from semantic memory or if there are better practical methods available?

Thanks @dluc , I have successfully fulfilled my use case based on your suggestions and reference documents.

Delete and then re-upload, it worked.
