I have used FSCrawler to index pdf documents.  
In Elastic 7.15.1 Management / Stack Management / Data / Index Management, I can see all the indexes.  
How may I now get these indexes into enterprise search/workplace search?

You need to use the workplace search output for this. See [Workplace Search settings — FSCrawler 2.7 documentation](https://fscrawler.readthedocs.io/en/fscrawler-2.7/admin/fs/wpsearch.html)

I removed my supplementary question when I realised that I had:

- been using E, K & ES @ v7.15.1 but FSC @ v7.14
- failed to read the whole of your [article](https://discuss.elastic.co/t/dec-5th-2020-en-searching-anything-anywhere-with-workplace-search/254740).
