Help with knowledge objects

The following table lists knowledge object definitions, files, and collections that might need to be duplicated on your federated and remote search heads if you want to use them in federated searches. You can verify the existence of a knowledge object by looking it up in Settings for your local deployment and the remote deployments involved in the federated search.

All links go to topics in the Knowledge Manager Manual unless otherwise indicated.
