Content Fragments

Content Fragments are pieces of text that are used by the bot to respond to specific situations in the conversation, such as confirming choices in a User Input Group or when there is a mismatch between a user input and a Slot type.

Each Content Fragment has a default text that applies to all bots unless it is changed. They are currenty only available in English, so if your bot is communicating in another language, you will certainly want to change them. You may also wish to change them to better suit the tone and manner of your particular bot.

To find Content Fragments, just click it in your bot's menu.
