This page describes how to create a data store and connect Excalidraw to Gemini Enterprise.
Before you begin
Before you set up your connection, do the following:
Grant the Discovery Engine Editor role (roles/discoveryengine.editor). This role is required for the user to create the data store. To grant this role, do the following:
In the Source section, search for Excalidraw, and click Select.
In the Data section:
In the Entities to search section, select the entities that you
want Gemini Enterprise to search. For Excalidraw, this includes Drawings and Checkpoints.
Click Continue.
In the Configuration section:
From the Multi-region list, select the location for your data connector.
In the Your data connector name field, enter a name for your connector.
If you selected us or eu as the location,
configure the Encryption settings:
Click Create. Gemini Enterprise creates your data store and displays your data stores on the Data Stores page.
On the Data Stores page, click your data store name to see the status. After
the data store state changes from Creating to Active, the Excalidraw data
store is ready to be used.
After creating the data store, connect the data store you just created to an existing app or create a new app and connect it to the new app. Since this connector uses public data, no user authorization is required.
Data handling and query execution
This section describes how Gemini Enterprise manages your query and the privacy implications of using the federated data store.
Query execution
After you authorize Excalidraw and send a search query to Gemini Enterprise:
Gemini Enterprise sends your search query directly to the Excalidraw API.
Gemini Enterprise blends the results with those from other connected data sources and displays a comprehensive search result.
Data handling
When using third-party federated search, the following data handling rules apply:
Your query string is sent to the third-party search backend (Excalidraw API).
These third parties may associate queries with your identity.
If multiple federated search data sources are enabled, the query might be sent to all of them.
After the data reaches the third-party system, it is governed by that system's terms of service and privacy policies.
