# Manage knowledge bases
After you create your knowledge base (KB), you can manage it using operations such as [update](#update-knowledge-base) or [publish](#publish-knowledge-base). You can also [restore](#restore-knowledge-base) or [delete](#delete-knowledge-base) your knowledge base.
## Prerequisites
* To manage your knowledge base you must have access permissions.
* To create or update your knowledge base you must have access permissions.
## Update knowledge base
You can update your knowledge base by using either:
* [QnA Maker client library](https://github.com/Azure/azure-sdk-for-net/tree/master/sdk/cognitiveservices/Language.LUIS.Authoring)
* [QnA Maker REST API](https://westus.dev.cognitive.microsoft.com/docs/services/59ab1b77bf2d203b8ca25c16/operations/54a15526fac2a0fabdca2596)
The client library simplifies management by abstracting away many tasks such as authentication.
### Update using client library
This section shows how you update your knowledge base using the [QnA Maker .NET client library](https://github.com/Azure/azure-sdk-for-net/tree/master/sdk/cognitiveservices/Language.LUIS.Authoring).
1. Create a new `QnAMakerClient` object.
1. Use `UpdateKbAsync` method with updated `KbOperation` object.
csharp
var qnaMakerClient = new QnAMakerClient(new Uri(endpointUri), new AzureKeyCredential(subKey));
var updateKBOperation = new UpdateKbOperation()
{
Add = new QnADocuments()
{
{
new QuestionAndAnswer()
{
id = "2",
answer = "Paris",
questions = new List() { "What is capital city of France?" }
}
},
},
Delete = new List() { 1 },
Update = new List()
{
{
new QuestionAndAnswer()
{
id = "0",
answer = "New York City",
questions = new List() { "What is capital city of America?" }
}
},
},
};
try
{
var response = await qnaMakerClient.UpdateKnowledgebaseAsync(
"{KBID}",
updateKBOperation,
CancellationToken.None);
}
catch (ErrorResponseException e)
{
Console.WriteLine("Encountered exception.");
Console.WriteLine("Message : " + e.Message);
Console.WriteLine("Status code : " + e.StatusCode);
Console.WriteLine("Headers : ");
foreach (var header in e.Headers)
{
Console.WriteLine(header.Key + " - " + header.Value);
}
}
### Update using REST API
You can use REST API operations such as:
* [Update Knowledge Base](https://westus.dev.cognitive.microsoft.com/docs/services/599abe83239ef42007719538/operations/54a15526fac2a0fabdca25ff)
* [Get Knowledge Base Details](https://westus.dev.cognitive.microsoft.com/docs/services/599abe83239ef42007719538/operations/54a15526fac2a0fabdca2512)
Use your subscription key when calling these operations.
## Publish knowledge base
Publishing makes your latest changes available online so users can interact with them through either:
* [Azure Bot Service](../AzureBotService/introduction.md)
* [QnA Maker Direct Line channel](../AzureBotService/bot-service-qnamaker-how-to-publish-kb.md#configure-direct-line)
Publishing creates a published endpoint URL so you can use it programmatically without going through QnA Maker again.
### Publish using client library
This section shows how you publish your knowledge base using the [QnA Maker .NET client library](https://github.com/Azure/azure-sdk-for-net/tree/master/sdk/cognitiveservices/Language.LUIS.Authoring).
1. Create a new `QnAMakerClient` object.
