I want to create a Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) system using Azure OpenAI, Azure AI Search, and a Storage Account. When selecting the data source as Blob Storage in OpenAI Studio, the index should automatically update when documents are added or deleted within the storage.
However, when I add documents to the storage later, the index connected to the chat playground in OpenAI Studio does not update. I set the update interval to 5 minutes, but the index not connected to OpenAI Studio is being updated instead.

After the data ingestion is set to a cadence other than once, Azure AI Search indexers will be created with a schedule equivalent to
0.5 * the cadence specified. This means that at the specified cadence, the indexers will pull, reprocess, and index the documents that were added or modified from the storage container. This process ensures that the updated data gets preprocessed and indexed in the final index at the desired cadence automatically. To update your data, you only need to upload the additional documents from the Azure portal. From the portal, select Storage Account > Containers. Select the name of the original container, then Upload. The index will pick up the files automatically after the scheduled refresh period. The intermediate assets created in the Azure AI Search resource won't be cleaned up after ingestion to allow for future runs. These assets are:
