In AgentForce documentation on Knowledge Indexing and Chunking Strategies, Salesforce emphasizes that when uploading large volumes of structured content such as HTML or documentation files, the system should use section-aware chunking. The guide states: “Section-aware chunking preserves the logical boundaries of headings, paragraphs, and sub-sections in structured documents like HTML or PDF files, allowing the agent to retrieve contextually accurate and relevant responses quickly.”
This method ensures that the agent does not split content mid-section or lose contextual relationships between headings and body text. It enhances both retrieval speed and answer precision.
Option A, semantic-based passage extraction, is better suited for free-text knowledge bases, where meaning needs to be inferred. Option B, conversation-based chunking, applies only to chat logs or dialogue histories. For HTML documentation and structured articles, section-aware chunking ensures optimized retrieval and minimal latency in AgentForce responses.
