# Automatic Updates
Learn how to use Automatic Updates in EbbotGPT Knowledge to schedule when your sources should be automatically updated.
## How Automatic updates work
Automatic updates work for all source types. However, to utilize automatic updates, your file (CSV, JSON, DOCX or other) must be hosted externally and accessible via a persistent link that can be re-scrape. A manual upload to ebbot provides a static copy that won't change, so auto-update for a manually uploaded file will just retrieve the same content from the file as it had when it was last uploaded to Ebbot.
## How to set up Automatic updates
To set up a schedule for automatically updating sources in a data set, follow these steps:
* Navigate to the data set.
* Select the Automatic updates tab.
* Click on Create new automatic update.
* Select the sources to be included in this schedule.
* Define the interval at which the updates should occur.
* Click Save.
Once you've created an automatic update schedule, it should look like the image below. The image shows the update interval and the sources that will be updated.
