Content Management
Content management lets you control the educational materials available in StratBrain. This includes course documents, exam questions, and the knowledge base that powers AI coaching.
Accessing Content Management
- Go to Admin in the navigation
- Click "Content" or "Documents"
- You'll see the content management dashboard
Managing Course Documents
Course documents provide context for the AI and help students access reference materials.
Uploading Documents
- Click "Upload Document"
- Select your file (PDF, Word, PowerPoint, or text files supported)
- Add metadata:
- Title - How the document will be displayed
- Description - Brief summary of contents
- Category - Type of document (syllabus, directive, reading, etc.)
- Course (optional) - Associate with a specific course
- Lesson (optional) - Associate with a specific lesson
- Click "Upload"
The system will process the document and extract its content for AI use.
Document Processing
After upload, documents are:
- Parsed - Text is extracted from the file
- Chunked - Content is split into searchable segments
- Indexed - Added to the knowledge base for AI retrieval
Processing may take a few minutes for large documents. You can check status on the document list.
Editing Documents
To update document metadata:
- Find the document in the list
- Click the edit icon
- Update title, description, category, or associations
- Save changes
To replace the file itself, delete and re-upload.
Deleting Documents

Deleting a document removes it from the knowledge base. This may affect AI coaching quality for related topics.
