# Operate a team knowledge base Review access, content ownership, backup scope, update path, and search behavior. Check the named site's prerequisites, task result, backup scope and recovery handoff with xCloud. Canonical: https://xcloud.host/use-cases/operations/operate-a-team-knowledge-base/ Published: 2026-09-30 · Updated: 2026-09-30 · Technical review: 2026-09-30 Evidence: Source reviewed; no production deployment test claimed Editorial owner: xCloud editorial Intent: Review access, content ownership, backup scope, update path, and search behavior. For: site-owner, administrator ## Requirements and responsibilities - Name the team, server, hostname, owner and affected users for the Bookstack application. Record the current version and the actual business flow that must survive the change. Confirm the current dashboard form, plan eligibility, and server capacity before committing a resource change. A one-click catalog listing is discovery, not permission or proof that the connected MCP profile can install it.

Identify app and content scope **Where:** xCloud app site and knowledge admin **Permissions:** Authorized xCloud read access to the named team and site; the relevant app or provider owner supplies records outside xCloud. **Inputs:** BookStack or Wiki.js, sensitive spaces, contributors **Action:** Confirm deployed app/version and list critical books or pages, attachments and reader groups. **Expected result:** A specific content and access baseline. **Verify:** Open a sample article as a limited reader. **If it fails:** If a restricted page is visible publicly, fix access before other maintenance. Capability: Confirm requirements and inspect resources Sources: [xCloud MCP documentation and connection profiles](https://app.xcloud.host/mcp/docs); [xCloud agent capability boundaries](https://github.com/xCloudDev/xcloud-agent-skills/blob/main/plugins/xcloud/reference/capability-map.md); [BookStack security and app key](https://www.bookstackapp.com/docs/admin/security/); [BookStack page editing, revisions and permissions](https://www.bookstackapp.com/docs/user/) ### 2. Review roles and shares **Where:** App groups and permissions **Permissions:** Authorized Knowledge application administrator or delegated role with rights for this task; hosting access alone is insufficient. **Inputs:** Editors, readers, guests, page rules **Action:** Compare current users with team roster. For Wiki.js check global rights and page rules; for BookStack inspect role permissions and visibility. **Expected result:** A least-privilege editor/reader map. **Verify:** Test allowed edit and denied edit from separate accounts. **If it fails:** If a reader can change content, correct app permissions. Capability: Configure BookStack or Wiki.js in its own application UI Sources: [BookStack security and app key](https://www.bookstackapp.com/docs/admin/security/); [BookStack page editing, revisions and permissions](https://www.bookstackapp.com/docs/user/); [Wiki.js page creation and editing](https://docs.requarks.io/en/guide/pages); [Wiki.js user groups and permissions](https://docs.requarks.io/groups) ### 3. Test edit and revision recovery **Where:** BookStack/Wiki.js page history **Permissions:** Authorized Knowledge application administrator or delegated role with rights for this task; hosting access alone is insufficient. **Inputs:** Harmless page, sample attachment **Action:** Make a small edit, inspect history, revert it and verify attachment/search behavior remains intact. **Expected result:** A demonstrated editorial recovery path. **Verify:** Compare before/after text and limited-reader view. **If it fails:** If history or attachments fail, investigate storage before bulk edits.

Inspect persistent backup **Where:** App docs and xCloud Docker Backup **Permissions:** Authorized xCloud team/site operator with the discovered write scope for this exact operation and owner approval for its target and interruption. **Inputs:** Database, uploads, config, BookStack APP\_KEY **Action:** Map all storage needed to reconstruct pages, users and attachments. Verify Completed Docker backup and key custody. **Expected result:** A complete backup scope. **Verify:** Restore a safe test copy and open sample article with attachment. **If it fails:** If key/config is absent, do not claim encrypted app state is recoverable.

Assign ongoing owners **Where:** Knowledge runbook **Permissions:** Authorized xCloud read access to the named team and site; the relevant app or provider owner supplies records outside xCloud. **Inputs:** Content reviewer, app updater, backup owner **Action:** Set review cadence for stale pages, access changes and app updates. Document different restore procedures for the selected app. **Expected result:** A maintained knowledge service. **Verify:** Have another editor locate last revision and backup. **If it fails:** If no app owner remains, freeze broad edits until ownership transfers.

Record failures as dated observations rather than assuming host health proves service health.

The packaged REST wrapper is GET-only; use dashboard or app controls for undocumented writes. ### Supported scope - **Confirm requirements and inspect resources** (mcp; read): Discover the connected profile and operation schema first; only teams granted to the connection are visible. Checkpoint: Confirm exact team, server and site identity. Use dashboard\_url returned by the resource; do not invent a dashboard link. Operation identifiers to discover: teams.index, servers.show, sites.show. Scopes: read:servers, read:sites.

Return exact app/version and missing storage questions. Do not claim MCP edits pages or groups; app admin tests limited-reader view and a safe revision restore. ``` ### Manual checkpoints - Approve exact site, target, cost and any write or maintenance window after inspecting the proposed plan. - An authorized Bookstack administrator must configure and test app users, content, integrations and business rules in the app. - Native WordPress staging, backup schedule/settings, push/pull and all restores are dashboard-only; Docker restore is dashboard-only and replaces state. - Reconcile data created after the chosen recovery point before any destructive restore. ## Feature coverage - **knowledge-ops decision, evidence and task action** (covered): The procedure identifies the authorized task boundary and observable result. Steps: step-1, step-2, step-3, step-4 - **backup, ongoing operation and recovery** (covered): Recovery and maintenance are checked in the task procedure.
