Overview
Ontology changes are versioned. Each time you save a schema change, Experio publishes a new revision and checks every configuration that depends on that schema:- Content types (Artifact Types)
- Data mappings
- Enrichment rules
- Matching strategies
Statuses
Invalid examples include a deleted ontology attribute that a content type still extracts, or an
enrichment rule whose output field is no longer on the target entity.
Compatibility dashboard
The dashboard summarizes counts for valid, stale, invalid, and pending-review configs. Filter the table to Needs attention, Invalid, Stale, or Review, then open a row to edit that configuration. Use Revision history on the dashboard (or History on the ontology editor) to inspect past schema publishes. See Ontology.Fixing an invalid or stale config
On the edit screen for a content type, mapping, enrichment rule, or matching strategy:- Read the compatibility issues listed on the page (each issue names the missing or renamed ontology element).
- Update the configuration so it matches the current ontology — or restore the ontology element if the deletion was a mistake (see rollback on the ontology page).
- Click Re-validate to re-check against the current revision.
- For stale or pending review after a rename that already looks correct, click Mark as reviewed to return the status to valid without editing the schema.
Blocked scans
Starting a job (scan, file upload, classification, or enrichment run) fails immediately when a linked config is invalid. The error lists the blocking configs with links to their admin pages. No RabbitMQ message is published. The Data Sources list shows a computed compatibility column from linked content types and mappings, so you can see a problem before you click Start Job.Setup health
The admin home (Admin) shows a setup-health strip:- Green — all tracked configs are valid
- Amber — some configs are stale or pending review (ingestion still runs)
- Red — at least one config is invalid (ingestion is blocked for linked sources)
