What is difference between a Document Folder and a Knowledge Center?

Hi everyone, I am new to Appian, and this is my first question!  What is the difference between "Create Folder" type and "Knowledge Center" type under "New" -> "Create Folder" at Build tab of Appian Designer? How to decide which one fit better for an application?

Thanks!

  • Hi  

    Create Folder:

    The simplest way to organize files within an application.
    Suitable for small sets of related files, like process templates or data tables.
    Doesn't offer access control or advanced features.

    Knowledge Center:

    • Dedicated container for folders and files, enabling:
      • Access control and security settings.
      • Collaboration features like versioning and editing permissions.
      • Integration with portals and processes.
    • Ideal for large document collections, shared by multiple users, or requiring version control

      If you want to make a decision with the application, then before selection, verify the below points:

    • Use "Create Folder" for:
      • Temporary storage during development.
      • Small, private sets of files within a process.
    • Use "Knowledge Center" for:
      • Large document libraries requiring access control and management.
      • Documents accessed and shared by multiple users.
      • Integrating with portals or processes.

    Is this from ChatGPT?

    IMHO, most of this post seems plausible, but when looking close is either misleading or wrong.

  • Hi  
    Before Post it on, I refer chat GPT I have check it on chat GPT, and tell them to "make it in pointer" to easily understand. 
    it's a good way to understand anyone. 
    I am also known Chat GPT not gives proper answer. Chat GPT have only limited data about new tools, they also don't know about latest versions.
