# Knowledge Bases: Articles

An article is content for a [knowledge base](https://support.smarteru.com//v1/docs/knowledge-bases) created within SmarterU. You can create wiki-style articles with a structured format, or full-page, free-form articles.

![Articles](https://cdn.document360.io/7efaadab-fef6-4186-806a-2ca14c9ce9ea/Images/Documentation/Articles.png)

Articles are created using a [template](https://support.smarteru.com//v1/docs/knowledge-bases-article-templates) that defines the information, tags, and attributes to be included in the article.

To allow users to see the [knowledge base in the learner interface](https://support.smarteru.com/docs/knowledge-base), you must [add a](https://support.smarteru.com/docs/page-main#type) [*Knowledge Base*](https://support.smarteru.com/docs/page-main#type) [type page](https://support.smarteru.com/docs/page-main#type) to the user's [dashboard set](https://support.smarteru.com/docs/dashboard-sets). Users will also need [permission](https://support.smarteru.com/docs/permissions-in-the-knowledge-base) to view the [articles](https://support.smarteru.com/docs/knowledge-bases-articles) and [files](https://support.smarteru.com/docs/knowledge-bases-files) in the [knowledge base folder](https://support.smarteru.com/docs/knowledge-bases-folders).
