Enable a Disabled Concept

Occasionally, maintenance on the Dictionary includes disabling outdated out-of-the-box (OOTB) dictionary concepts. Once the concepts are disabled, their associated synonyms are also unavailable.

If you need to use a disabled concept, you can use the following procedure to enable it again. Once you enable a concept, the synonyms associated with it are also available.

Note: You can see a list of disabled concepts in the Release Readiness document.

1. Launch Agent Desktop and navigate to Home, Manage Search Query (MSQ).
2. In the Tune a Question field, type the word test and click Tune Question.

   The concept test is highlighted in the How Search Interprets a Question panel.

3. At the Action to Take menu, select Add to Existing Concept and click the arrow.
4. At the Add to Which Concept field, type the name of the concept you want to enable and click the magnifying glass to open the list of concepts.

   The disabled concept appears in the Matches field.

5. Click Add.
6. In the How Search Interprets a Question panel, click the concept annotation, and at the Action to Take menu box, select Edit Concept.
