Enable Online Learning for skills producing poor classification or field-extraction results. Online Learning can significantly improve accuracy, but may slow down document processing. You enable Online Learning when configuring a Process skill. Configure it separately for Classification skills and Document skills.
Online Learning relies on corrections made during Manual Review, so the Process skill must include a Manual Review step.

​
Enable Online Learning

Select the skill and turn on Collect documents and learn in either the Actions pane or the skill preview pane.

Online Learning is not available for skills designed to process structured documents. For these skills, the Collect documents and learn option is disabled — the system still collects documents, but does not learn from them.

​
If Manual Review is not configured

If your Process skill does not include a Manual Review activity, the Collect documents and learn toggle is grayed out and the Actions pane displays this message:
Actions pane message indicating that a Manual Review activity must be added before Online Learning can be enabled

Message in the Actions pane prompting you to add a Manual Review activity

If the same skill is used in multiple Process skills, turn on Collect documents and learn in each Process skill. This ensures that the skill benefits from Online Learning regardless of which Process skill is active.

​
After enabling Online Learning

After you enable Online Learning and operators begin making corrections during manual review, the system starts accumulating documents in the skill’s training set. Online Learning results appear in the Results tab of the Classification Skill Editor or the Document Skill Editor. You can also review the collected documents directly in the Skill Editor.
