1. Knowledge Articles: Users can create and publish articles that contain valuable information, such as how-to guides, troubleshooting tips, and best practices. These articles can be categorized and tagged for easier searching.

2. Knowledge Base: Articles are organized into knowledge bases, which can be segmented by topic, department, or audience. This helps in organizing content and making it more accessible to users.

3. Approval Workflows: Knowledge articles typically go through a review and approval process before being published. This ensures that the information is accurate and reliable.

4. Search and Access: ServiceNow Knowledge Management includes a robust search functionality, allowing users to quickly find relevant articles. Access controls can be set to restrict who can view or contribute to certain knowledge bases or articles.

5. Version Control: Knowledge articles can have multiple versions, with a history of changes. This allows users to track updates and revert to previous versions if necessary.

6. Feedback and Ratings: Users can provide feedback on articles by rating them and leaving comments. This feedback helps improve the quality of knowledge content.

7. Integration with Other Modules: Knowledge Management is integrated with other ServiceNow modules, such as Incident Management and Problem Management. For example, knowledge articles can be linked to incidents to provide solutions and reduce resolution time.

8. Analytics and Reporting: ServiceNow offers reporting tools to analyze knowledge usage, article effectiveness, and user satisfaction. This data can help organizations identify gaps in their knowledge base and improve content.

9. User Roles and Permissions: Different roles can be assigned for knowledge management tasks, such as authors, reviewers, and administrators. Permissions control who can create, edit, or publish articles.
