# Linking a Knowledge Base to an Assistant

**How to Link a Knowledge Base to an&#x20;**<mark style="color:orange;">**Assistant**</mark>**?**

* **Select an Assistant:**
  * Navigate to the <mark style="color:orange;">**Assistants**</mark> section in your dashboard.
  * Choose the <mark style="color:orange;">assistant</mark> you want to link the Knowledge Base to.
* **Go to&#x20;**<mark style="color:orange;">**Knowledge Base**</mark>**&#x20;Settings:**
  * In the selected <mark style="color:orange;">assistant</mark>’s settings, locate the <mark style="color:orange;">**Knowledge Base**</mark> section.
* **Select a Knowledge Base:**
  * From the dropdown menu, choose the <mark style="color:orange;">Knowledge Base</mark> you want to attach to the <mark style="color:orange;">assistant</mark>.
  * Ensure you select a <mark style="color:orange;">**trained Knowledge Base**</mark>, as only trained Knowledge Bases can be linked to an assistant.
* **Save and You’re Good to Go:**
  * Once you’ve selected the <mark style="color:orange;">Knowledge Base</mark>, your <mark style="color:orange;">assistant</mark> will automatically start using it during interactions.

#### Important Notes:

* **Trained Knowledge Bases Only:**\
  Untrained Knowledge Bases cannot be linked to an assistant. Ensure your Knowledge Base is fully trained before attempting to add it to an assistant.
* **Switching Knowledge Bases:**\
  You can update or change the linked Knowledge Base at any time by revisiting the Knowledge Base settings for the assistant.
