### Entity resolution
Whether to enable entity resolution. You can think of this as an entity deduplication switch. When enabled, the LLM will combine similar entities - e.g., '2025' and 'the year of 2025', or 'IT' and 'Information Technology' - to construct a more accurate graph.

### Community report generation
In a knowledge graph, a community is a cluster of entities linked by relationships. You can have the LLM generate an abstract for each community, known as a community report. See [here](https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/research/blog/graphrag-improving-global-search-via-dynamic-community-selection/) for more information. This indicates whether to generate community reports:
- Generate community reports.
- (Default) Do not generate community reports. This options consumes fewer tokens.

- (Default) Do not generate community reports.
## Procedure
1. On the **Configuration** page of your knowledge base, switch on **Extract knowledge graph** or adjust its settings as needed, and click **Save** to confirm your changes.
- *The default GraphRAG configurations for your knowlege base are now set and files uploaded from this point onward will automatically use these settings during parsing.*
- *The default knowledge graph configurations for your knowlege base are now set and files uploaded from this point onward will automatically use these settings during parsing.*
- *Files parsed before this update will retain their original knowledge graph settings.*
2. The knowledge graph of your knowlege base does *not* automatically update *until* a newly uploaded file is parsed.

### Where to find the version of RAGFlow? How to interprete it?
You can find the RAGFlow version number on the **System** page of the UI:
![Image](https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/20cf7213-2537-4e18-a88c-4dadf6228c6b)
If you build RAGFlow from source, the version number is also in the system log:
```
____ ___ ______ ______ __
/ __ \ / | / ____// ____// /____ _ __
/ /_/ // /| | / / __ / /_ / // __ \| | /| / /
/ _, _// ___ |/ /_/ // __/ / // /_/ /| |/ |/ /
/_/ |_|/_/ |_|\____//_/ /_/ \____/ |__/|__/
2025-02-18 10:10:43,835 INFO 1445658 RAGFlow version: v0.16.0-50-g6daae7f2 full
```
Where:
- `v0.16.0`: The officially published release.
- `50`: The number of git commits since the official release.
- `g6daae7f2`: `g` is the prefix, and `6daae7f2` is the first seven characters of the current commit ID.
- `full`/`slim`: The RAGFlow edition.
- `full`: The full RAGFlow edition.
- `slim`: The RAGFlow edition without embedding models and Python packages.

### Why does it take longer for RAGFlow to parse a document than LangChain?
We put painstaking effort into document pre-processing tasks like layout analysis, table structure recognition, and OCR (Optical Character Recognition) using our vision models. This contributes to the additional time required.
