As organizations increasingly rely on OpenMetadata for discovery, collaboration, data quality, observability, and governance, there is a need to house long-form articles right within OpenMetadata to describe architecture, showcase usage tutorials, and document best practices in data management. Instead of turning to tools like Google Docs or Confluence to document these extensive details, data teams can create articles in OpenMetadata's Knowledge Center to share crucial information with the team.
Knowledge Center helps to **centralize tribal knowledge** and **enhance data documentation** in your organization. The Knowledge Center supports the creation of **in-depth, long-form knowledge articles**. The innovative new editor facilitates rich content creation, embedding images and other media to elucidate complex details. OpenMetadata's knowledge center **fosters seamless connection** between documentation and data assets by allowing users to **tag teams and data assets** as references. Knowledge Articles come equipped with **comments, version history,** and all the other features that are an integral part of OpenMetadata.
You can arrange your articles hierarchically by nesting the articles. From the left menu in the Knowledge Center, click on the + next to an article to create a nested article.
## Associate Data Assets with the Knowledge Articles
Knowledge articles can be associated with the concerned data assets, so that information about the data assets is readily available. Click on + in the right hand menu for Data Assets to search and add the related data assets for an article.
You can categorize the articles in your Knowledge Center by tagging the articles. The option to tag is available on the right hand panel of the article.
While creating or updating articles, or even when deleting existing articles, you can communicate with your fellow team members using **comments** for that article.
If you already have a comprehensive knowledge article in an external source, and you want to reference those links within the knowledge center, then such links can be added as Quicklinks. From the Knowledge Center, click on the **Add** button to add a quicklink.
With Knowledge Center, critical knowledge and documentation are readily available where users need them, making OpenMetadata a comprehensive hub for all things data.
