This portal replaces the Knowledge Management v3 homepage starting with the Madrid release and is the default experience for customers on Madrid and later versions. The widgets honor Knowledge Management V3 system properties, which can be overridden by widget instance options configured by users with theknowledgeadminoradminroles. Widget instance options are accessed via the control + right-click menu after switching to the Knowledge Management - Service Portal scope.

By configuring widget instance options, administrators can tailor search, navigation, filtering, and article presentation to optimize knowledge discovery and user engagement. The transition to the Service Portal framework also future-proofs deployments by adopting the newer, supported interface and widget set. The Knowledge Management Service Portal uses a number of widgets to enable searches, display search results, and display articles, related articles, and related items. In the Knowledge Management Service Portal, the Knowledge Management homepage, search results page, and article view page honor the Knowledge Management V3 system properties. If configured, widget instance options can override the system properties. Note: Starting with the Washington DC release, the Knowledge Management v3 homepage (com.snc.knowledge3) is being prepared for deprecation in the future Y release. It is replaced by the Knowledge Management Service Portal (com.snc.knowledge_serviceportal), which is active by default for customers on Madrid and later releases.
