You can retire a published knowledge block so that it's no longer available for users to view or search.

## Vorbereitungen

Role required: user must have contributor access to the knowledge base.

## Prozedur

1. Navigate to AllKnowledgeKnowledge BlocksPublished.
2. Open the applicable record.
3. Select Retire to retire the knowledge block.  
   Hinweis:  
   * Starting from the Australia release, you can retire the knowledge block attached to an article by setting the (glide.knowman.allow_retire_block) system property to true.
   * Any additional steps required to retire the knowledge block, such as approvals, depend on the workflow for the knowledge base. See [Knowledge workflows](https://servicenow-prod.fluidtopics.net/SZj7_xuHdnlVADCo9u7Vhg#r_KnowledgeWorkflows "The publishing and retirement processes for a knowledge article are controlled by workflows defined for the knowledge base that the article belongs to.") for more information.
   * A knowledge block can only be deleted if it's not being used in any knowledge article, including any retired article or previous version of an article.
