Is a knowledge base the same as a content library?

A knowledge base is typically a centralized repository of information, expertise, and best practices on a specific topic or domain. It contains structured and organized content aimed at providing users with answers to common questions, troubleshooting guidance, how-to articles, and other informational resources. A content library is a collection of reusable content assets such as templates, documents, and images. It serves as a repository for storing and organizing content assets for reuse across various projects, initiatives, or campaigns. The primary focus of a content library is on providing access to content assets that can be easily repurposed or adapted for different purposes without the need to recreate them from scratch.
