# Create a knowledge base snapshot

Snapshots activate a knowledge base, making its configuration available for use. This means that after making any changes to the knowledge base, you must create a snapshot to make the updates active in Zilliant CPQ.

To create a snapshot:

1. From the application left navigation area, select **Products**.
2. Select a product.
3. From the top navigation bar, select **Knowledge Base**.
4. Select a knowledge base.
5. On the **Knowledge Base Snapshots** tab, select ![](https://cdn.document360.io/24f960e8-3c1c-4c18-a2c6-83b6ae4aab84/Images/Documentation/CPQ-icon_add.png?sv=2026-02-06&spr=https&st=2026-11-02T15%3A47%3A47Z&se=2026-11-02T16%3A47%3A47Z&sr=c&sp=r&sig=Gj3aP%2B8VTVNta1MZCRf6Wjb56d8Z6tN211dfswbAVVU%3D) to create a snapshot.
