You can enable <> disable your knowledge base for your workspace within the 'Knowledge base' tab of your Workspace Settings: Workspace settings > Knowledge base . Once enabled, you can name your knowledge base (this is the name that will show in your top navigation bar).

Within your knowledge base, categories are organized into sections. You can create new sections by clicking the + button next to 'Create new' at the top of the left-hand sidebar and select New section. Sections appear in the left-hand sidebar of your knowledge base and can be dragged to reorder by admins and team members.

Categories

Within your knowledge base, documents are organized into categories. You can create new categories by clicking the + button next to 'Create new' at the top of the left-hand sidebar and select New category. Categories appear in the left-hand sidebar of your knowledge base and can be dragged to reorder by admins and team members.

Documents

Within your knowledge base, you will add documents (docs) which are used to create help articles, guides and other resources for your users.

To create a document, button next to 'Create new' at the top of the left-hand sidebar and select New doc or alternatively use the⌘D shortcut.

Once you've created a new doc, click Start writing or Edit doc to update the doc's content and settings, including:
