 {% data variables.product.prodname_copilot %}'s ability to answer natural language questions, in the context of a {% data variables.product.prodname_dotcom %} repository, is improved when the repository has been indexed for semantic code search.
 
+Indexing repositories is not a requirement and will not affect responses to questions about information in knowledge bases, pull requests, issues, discussions, or commits. However, indexing can help {% data variables.product.prodname_copilot_chat_short %} answer questions that relate directly to the code within a repository.
+
 The indexing status of a repository is displayed on {% data variables.product.prodname_dotcom_the_website %} when you start a conversation that has a repository context. You can index the repository if it has not been indexed yet.
 
 After you index a repository it is automatically re-indexed every time a change is pushed to the repository.
