# Create Knowledge Base document

> Create a new document in your Knowledge Base from within a Workflow.

Create a new document in your [Knowledge Base](/knowledge-base/overview) from within a [Workflow](/workflows/overview). Use this to automatically generate and store documentation, meeting notes, reports, or any content your team needs to reference later.

<Steps>
  <Step title="Add the action">
    In the Workflow builder, click **+** between blocks and select **Create Knowledge Base Document** from the action library.

  </Step>

  <Step title="Enter the document name">
    Specify the name for the new document. Use **#** to [insert variables](/guides/prompt-engineering#workflow-prompts) from previous steps or the trigger to dynamically generate the name.

    </Frame>
  </Step>

  <Step title="Enter the document content">
    In the **Document Content** field, specify the text for the document body. Reference output variables from previous steps — such as a [Generate Text](/reference/actions/generate-text) action — to populate the document with dynamically generated content.
