Update Custom Document Intelligence Model for New Format
You have an app named App1 that uses a custom Azure AI Document Intelligence model to recognize contract documents. You need to ensure that the model supports an additional contract format. The solution must minimize development effort. What should you do?

Community Insight
Adding new document examples to an existing training set and retraining minimizes development effort while expanding model recognition capabilities.
To support an additional contract format in an Azure AI Document Intelligence custom model, you must add the new format to the existing training set and retrain. This page establishes that retraining an existing model minimizes development effort compared to creating a new one.
Choosing to create a new training set and model (Option B), which unnecessarily duplicates effort and discards existing trained capabilities.

Why the Answer Is Correct
Adding the additional contract format to the existing training set and retraining the model (Option C) directly teaches the current model to recognize the new format. This approach leverages the model's existing knowledge of the original contract formats, requiring only the incremental effort of labeling new examples and retraining. It perfectly satisfies the requirement to minimize development effort.Why the Other Options Are Wrong
Option A and Option D suggest lowering thresholds (confidence or accuracy), which only changes the application's filtering logic but does not teach the underlying model how to understand the new contract format. Option B suggests creating a completely new training set and model, which significantly increases development effort by forcing you to start from scratch rather than building upon existing work.Community Comment Notes
The community strongly agrees that updating the existing training set is the most efficient path. As syupwsh noted, "Option C directly addresses the need to support an additional contract format without starting from scratch." Murtuza also highlighted that "augmenting the existing training data with the new format, you can fine-tune the model without starting from scratch."Official Reference
Exam Strategy
When asked to minimize development effort for expanding an existing custom model's capabilities, always prefer updating and retraining the existing model over creating a new one. Avoid threshold adjustments when the core issue is a lack of model knowledge.
