Hi,  I have some questions regarding the creation of new Knowledge Center to replace the existing one for data storage optimisation.  1. What are the differences between Create Knowledge Center smart service and create it manually (New => Folder => Knowledge Center) aside from the security config? And when should user use each method? 2. My application already have a Knowledge Center containing child folders within it, and each folder contains different types of document.  Now I want to amend this Knowledge Center by creating 3 new KC, and reallocate my child folders into these 3 new KCs.  Those child folders are already being used in lots of process models, so I need to be aware about whether the above changes will affect the process models, and what can I do to avoid it?  And how can I move the child folders and documents within them to the new Knowledge Centers?
