We have decided to fully deprecate this component in favour of the [discourse-docs plugin](https://meta.discourse.org/t/discourse-docs-documentation-management-plugin/130172). If anyone has it installed on an existing site, the component [will be auto-disabled](https://github.com/discourse/discourse-knowledge-base-theme/commit/6c482b00b2df25739815747aa62f7d054ba994a6) once you upgrade to Discourse 2.7.0.beta1 or above (to prevent the site being broken by incompatibilities). You can see a demo of the discourse-docs plugin [right here](https://meta.discourse.org/docs) on Meta.
