Guide to Uninstall Knowledge Module and All Dependencies

⚠️ Important Note

This guide assumes that ALL knowledge-related modules are installed. If some modules are already uninstalled on your system, simply skip those steps. The guide is designed to cover the most complex scenario where all modules are active.

3. document_page_portal – Portal access for document pages
4. document_page_project – Project integration
5. document_page_reference – References in document pages

Independent module (optional):
