# Enable knowledge blocks in the Knowledge Center

Enable the knowledge blocks feature for each knowledge base where you plan to use the blocks. Once enabled, you can create knowledge blocks to add to knowledge articles within a knowledge base.

## Before you begin

Make sure that the knowledge blocks **\[com.snc.knowledge\_blocks\]** plugin is activated. To activate the plugin see [Activate knowledge blocks](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/ServiceNow/ServiceNowDocs/australia/markdown/australia/servicenow-platform/knowledge-management/activate-knowledge-blocks.md)

Role required: knowledge\_admin or knowledge\_manager

## Procedure

1.  Navigate to **All** > **Knowledge** > **Administration** > **Knowledge Bases**.

2.  Open the knowledge base record.

3.  In the Knowledge Base form, select the **Enable blocks** check box.

    **Note:** If the **Enable blocks** check box isn’t visible, you can add the field to the form by select and hold \(or right-click\) the form header and navigating to **Configure** > **Form Layout**.

4.  Select**Update**.

    **Note:** If you decide to disable the knowledge blocks feature, all knowledge blocks within the knowledge base must be deleted before you can clear the box.


## What to do next

Create knowledge blocks to use within the enabled knowledge base.
