***Processing modes**: With the **`2025-05-01-preview`** release, we introduce two modes: `standard` and `pro`. The default mode for all analyzers is `standard`. Content Understanding pro mode adds reasoning, support for multiple input documents, the ability to configure an external knowledge base for linking, enrichment and validation. These features enable automating complex tasks requiring that extend the field extraction capability to cover tasks that would have required custom code or human effort. The `pro` mode is currently limited to documents as inputs, this will be extended to support other types of content soon! Common challenges that the pro mode addresses is aggregating a schema across content from different input files, validating results across documents and using extrenal knowledge (guidelines, standard operating procedures and other context) to generate a output schema. Learn more about the [pro mode](concepts/standard-pro-modes.md).

***Document classification and splitting** with a [Classification API](concepts/classifier.md). This API supports classifying and logicall splitting a single file containing multiple documents with optional routing to field extraction analyzers. This enables you to define a workflow to classify and split a file into multiple logical documents and route the individual documents to a downstream field extraxtion model in a single API call.
