Adding more Knowledge Bases to your Organization allows you to separate information about different brands and products.

NOTE: while your primary Knowledge Base will likely have the URL in the format [Organization name].goboomtown.com (e.g. boomtown.goboomtown.com), the new Knowledge Base will have the URL in the format [Organization name].goboomtown.com/kbs/[KB name] (e.g. boomtown.goboomtown.com/kbs/internal).
