Here’s how to change the variables in “Knowledge Model”:
In the Celonis navigation menu, select Studio.

Click the row for any variable you need to edit, and make any changes that you need to the default settings. The table below lists the defaults for each Knowledge Model variable.
When you’ve set the variables, use the Publish Package button at the top of the screen in your Studio space to publish a new version of the app.
