> ⚠ The functionality of this theme component has been replaced by the [Discourse Docs](https://meta.discourse.org/t/discourse-docs-documentation-management/130172) plugin

This theme component enables a knowledge base style view for selected categories.

#### 🔗 [Preview on Theme Creator](https://theme-creator.discourse.org/theme/justindirose/knowledge-base)

A KB button is added to the nav pills for any categories enabled in the settings.

Once toggled into the view, the knowledge base shows a stripped down version of the latest topic list.

Click a tag in the sidebar and the topic list automatically filters by that tag. You can select as many tags as you want, and the tag list will show only tags added to the filtered topics for ease of browsing lots of documentation.

Want to search? Just type a term in the box. Search results are also restricted to any tags you have selected.

### Considerations

The following site settings are **required** for this component to function: `tagging enabled` and `show filter by tag`

~~This theme component does not currently have a mobile view.~~

That being said, we’re working on building a more advanced version of this. We’ll be sure to let you know here on Meta when it’s ready!
