    • Project team level (for virtual teams)
    • Department level (for organizational units)
    • Organization level (visible to all organization members)

Navigate to Knowledge > KnowledgeBase, click [Create KnowledgeBase] then configure KnowledgeBase name, classification, description and user permissions(view/preview/download/edit/admin)。

Figure-KnowledgeBase creation page

Note: Knowledge Administrators must add collaborators during knowledgebase creation, users require knowledgebase membership to perform any operations.

After creating a knowledgebase, authorized users (including knowledge administrators, users with admin roles, knowledgebase administrators, and those granted editing permissions) can create knowledge content within this space.

In addition to creating new WikiDocs, the KnowledgeBase supports bulk importing various document types from both AnyShare Documents and local document repositories.

› Mange KnowledgeBase

Knowledge Administrators can access the backend to manage all knowledgebases and their classifications.

Navigate to “” > [KnowledgeBase], click “” to edit this knowledgebase details (modify its classification and assign the KnowledgeBase Administrator,) and click “” to delete it.

On the KnowledgeBase homepage, administrators with proper permissions can click “” > [Settings] to access the editing interface, where they can modify:

Once classification creation is complete, administrators can assign knowledgebases to specific classifications during creation or editing, enabling more effective management of knowledgebases.

› Post approval workflows in KnowledgeBase

AnyShare KnowledgeBase supports granular page-level permission management, ensuring both knowledge asset security and efficient cross-departmental collaboration through standardized content publishing.

Approval Workflow Controls: Page-level permissions govern both content approval process and post approval feature activation:

1. Knowledge administrators can create/manage approval processes (Path: Knowledge Center Backend > Review Workflow Management) for other admins to directly reference.

2. Subsequently, knowledge administrators may proceed to enable and configure the publishing approval function via KnowledgeCenter > KnowledgeBase Settings Window > Post.

Note: The Approval Workflow feature requires AnyShare's Workflow Service to be installed and activated.

Configure Approval Process

Knowledge administrators can create and manage repository approval workflows by navigating to “”> [Approval Process], with support for multi-tiered review chains including knowledgebase administrators, superior reviewers, and designated admin roles.

Enable Post Approval

To configure content publishing approvals, navigate to the KnowledgeBase management page, click the top-right “” > [Settings] > [Publishing Settings], where KnowledgeBase administrators or authorized users can enable posting approval process requirements and assign approval process for the entire KnowledgeBase or specific folders while designating exempt personnel.

Implementation Example

For KnowledgeBases with posting approval enabled, unauthorized authors posting new or updated knowledge (from AnyShare documents or local files) will trigger the approval process. Only approved knowledge can post successfully in this KnowledgeBase.

Note: The default approver is the KnowledgeBase Admin, though this can be customized as needed.
