# Ingestion

Ingestion is the process where information in a repository is converted into documents that can be indexed into IDOL. Ingestion starts when a connector finds new items in a repository, or items that have been updated or deleted. To keep IDOL up to date with the changes, the connector creates documents representing the new, updated, and deleted items.

Ingestion includes all of the processing that takes place before documents are indexed. Usually, you configure your connectors to send documents to Connector Framework Server, so that the documents can be enriched, and indexed into IDOL.

The following diagram shows the ingestion process:
