# Source attribution {#source-attribution}

Source attribution helps users understand where an answer came from.

## Recommended source fields {#recommended-source-fields}

```text
title,url,source_type,source_identifier
```

For TYPO3 pages, include page-specific identifiers if they are available. For
files, include filename and path or public URL. For external systems, include a
stable record identifier and display label.

## Prompt wording {#prompt-wording}

If the assistant should answer source questions such as "Where does this come
from?", ensure the retrieved context contains metadata fields and the answer
prompt allows the assistant to mention them.
