# Knowledge Management Service Portal homepage features

The Knowledge Management Service Portal homepage displays knowledge articles organized by knowledge base and category, as well as featured content and popular articles. Learn how to navigate the homepage to search for and find useful and relevant information quickly.

To use the Knowledge Management Service Portal, the Knowledge Management — Service Portal plugin \(com.snc.knowledge\_serviceportal\) must be activated.

**Note:** It’s active by default for customers on the Madrid and later releases. Existing or upgrade customers must activate the plugin and enable the **glide.knowman.serviceportal.enable\_redirect** property.

To see the Knowledge Management Service Portal homepage, add `/kb` to the end of the URL for your instance. You can change the default navigation by configuring the system property **sn\_km\_portal.glide.knowman.serviceportal.portal\_url**.

Your organization can customize the homepage, so it may look different to the following image. You must be logged in to view the knowledge homepage.
