Support agents at Universal Containers are using Agentforce to find troubleshooting information.

The AgentForce Data Cloud Retrieval and Ranking Guide highlights that when outdated Knowledge articles appear before newer ones, administrators should configure ranking factors that prioritize content based on recency. The documentation specifies: “Adding a recency ranking factor using the LastModifiedDate or LastPublishedDate fields ensures the retrieval prioritizes the most up-to-date documents, improving response relevance.”

Option A (disabling keyword index) would remove precision in retrieval and does not address recency.

Option B (changing chunking strategy) affects data segmentation, not ranking order.

Therefore, Option C — adding a ranking factor for recency — is the correct way to ensure updated articles are prioritized.
