Updating a thesaurus - Amazon Kendra

You can change the configuration of a thesaurus after it is created. You can change details like thesaurus name and IAM information. You can also change the location of the thesaurus file Amazon S3 path. If you change the path to the thesaurus file, Amazon Kendra replaces the existing thesaurus with the thesaurus specified in the updated path.

It can take up to 30 minutes to see the effects of your updated thesaurus file.

Note

If there are validation or syntax errors in the thesaurus file, the previously uploaded thesaurus file is retained.

The following procedures show how to modify thesaurus details.
