Problem Description

So far with the new addition of Bypass Embedding and Retrieval, we can select whether our files are embedded or not. However, this global variable affects both documents in "collections" as well as those attached during a conversation.

Desired Solution you'd like

The ideal solution would be to have two different parameter settings. One of file attachments and one for files in a collection. This would provide the RAG benefits of working with a large corpus of files in a collection, while also benefitting from full context information of the file shared in the conversation. Usually, users put more importance on the files shared rather than the files in the collection. You don't want to lose the full context of the document "attached" because it has been ragged.

Alternatives Considered

None

Additional Context

None
