Manage Indexes

Learn how to manipulate indexes on vector and scalar fields via SDKs.

📘Notes

Whether a collection is automatically indexed and loaded depends on how you create the collection. A collection is automatically loaded upon creation in the following scenarios:

• On the console.

• Using RESTful API.

• Quick setup mode via applicable SDKs.

• Customized setup mode via applicable SDKs with index parameters specified.

You can also create a collection that is not loaded automatically and start managing indexes on your own.
