Always from a document
An IDP agent is not created as an empty form. The app runs the flow from a sample document.
- Open the document in the workspace that the agent should be based on. If it is missing: Add a document.
- Select the document.
- In Actions, choose Create new IDP Agent.
- Choose a template from the catalog.
- Adjust fields and instructions in the agent editor and save.
The same orientation opens from Document AI → IDP Agents → Create agent. That dialog sends you to the sample document. It does not replace steps 2 to 4.
