To create a knowledge base:

Step 1: On your ProProfs Knowledge Base dashboard, go to Sites > Create New.

Step 2: In the create new site dialog, choose a method to build your knowledge base. You can choose one from the three available options based on your requirements:

1. New Site: You can build a fresh knowledge base from scratch or use our ready-made templates to edit. 

2. New Site Version: You can leverage the version control feature to modify your knowledge base based on updates in the UI/UX of your product. Learn More.

3. Multi-Branded Site: You can retain the look & feel of your existing knowledge base to maintain consistence across your help centers. Learn More.

Step 2.1: When you select "New Site," you are redirected to the page where you can pick a template to preview/edit or click Create to start creating your knowledge base from scratch.
