# Retiring an Ingested Document

Duplicate content may be ingested from different sources. But you can remove (delete) documents from the pipeline using the **Retire Knowledge Documents** command. Retired documents will still exist in your data source.

To retire content from a particular source:

1. Navigate to **Settings > Data Sources** in the Aisera Admin UI.
2. Choose a Data Source with documents that you want to retire.
3. At the top of the **Data Source Details** window, click on the **Retire Knowledge Documents** button.<br>

   <div data-gb-custom-block data-tag="hint" data-style="info" class="hint hint-info"><p>This icon will not appear if you have not ingested any knowledge articles</p></div>

   <div align="left"><figure><img src="/files/vcfHoDO8eL41X7N42mRU" alt="" width="497"><figcaption><p>Retire Knowledge Documents</p></figcaption></figure></div>
4. Select the checkboxes next to the documents you want to retire.<br>

   <div align="left"><figure><img src="/files/7SGcHiL2r8v4i6SpivSq" alt="" width="360"><figcaption><p>Select Documents to Retire</p></figcaption></figure></div>
5. Click **Ok** to retire the selected documents.<br>

   <div data-gb-custom-block data-tag="hint" data-style="info" class="hint hint-info"><p>The retired documents will not be used to server the user requests, and will no longer be ingested by the Data Source.</p></div>
