## Description

**Auto-Retraining Datasets** keeps **URL-based sources** in your mentorAI up to date—automatically.

For any dataset that points to a **live web page** (e.g., documentation sites, LMS pages, LinkedIn articles), you can schedule periodic checks.

If the page changes, the mentor re-trains on the new content at your chosen interval—**no manual uploads required**.

## Target Audience

**Instructor · Administrator**

## Features

#### Per-URL Scheduling

Set retraining intervals for **individual URL resources** directly from the **Datasets tab**.

#### Preset & Custom Intervals

Choose from **Daily**, **Weekly**, or **Monthly**, or set a **custom every-N-days** cadence (e.g., every 2 or 4 days).

#### Change-Aware Updates

At each interval, mentorAI checks the page; if it’s been updated, the dataset is **automatically re-trained** on the latest content.

#### Status Feedback

After saving, a confirmation appears (e.g., *“Retrain interval successfully updated”*) to verify your schedule has been applied.

## How to Use (step by step)
