Hey there! We have quite a lot of articles in our help center and I have been tasked with organizing them in a way that makes it easier for my team and our customers to find relevant articles. I made a Google sheet and plan to list all the articles (separated by collection) and then determine if they need a new title/subtitle to ensure they have the correct key words included. I am wondering if anyone out there has had to take on a project like this and if you have any advice or suggestions for a more efficient way. Thanks!

I've created a bunch of code blocks in my help article with carefully formatted whitespace. When I save the article the whitespace is stripped. I'm talking specifically about whitespace to the left of content. This: " some-command"Becomes:some-command I had to quote the first example because the help center does the same snipping...When I edit the article the whitespace is back! How can I keep it in place for viewers of the article?

How can I put a table in the body of my article?

Let's say I have a help center article (Example 1) that includes a link to another help center article (Example 2) If at some point I retire Example 2 to draft status, this means the link to the article in Example 1 would no longer work. Is there an easy way to identify when retiring an article if it has been linked to from other articles? I'm trying to avoid building and maintaining an internal database with all articles that include links to other articles and cross-referencing whenever we retire an article.

Top of the Help center, there is services logo (or text) and text that contain service URL. I don't know how to change. so could you plz tell me how to do it??

 It's a real PITA to have to go and update links everywhere if you change the title of an article (which changes its primary URL). Example: I have an article titled "Example Article 1" that I wish to link to from within other articles. If I use the primary URL for the article - e.g., http://support.mysite.com/en/articles/12345-example-article-1 - then if I change the article title in the future I'll have to find and change all links to that article. Is there really no way to insert a persistent link for an article - a URL that doesn't change if the title changes? Ideally there would even be a way to specify an internal article link that automatically generates the right URL even if you change the help center domain - e.g., from support.mysite.com to helpcenter.mysite.com. This is pretty basic functionality for any wiki or other simple content mgmt system.

I have SaaS product where it can only be used/viewed by people who have access to it. I want to create Intercom articles and chat support in my SaaS app.I have started creating Articles on IntercomMy question - What is the best way to allow my app users to jump to intercom articles technically.NOTE: I donot want my Intercom articles to be PUBLIC. Only users who have access to my app, should be able to view the articles.

This would be incredibly helpful when training new staff or if our internal Support team need guidance on certain procedures. I'd like to include things like how to operate the feature (feature flag) /switch it on or off/potential errors, etc. which will really help as we expand.

I'd like a csv of our article titles and ideally, the dates they were written.

In the web app, I can search for an article and get results, but clicking on any article leads to a blank page

We have some cases where we have several people log in with one user login, and we find sharing the same help center all over again, as they cannot find it back anymore.  Is there an option to set an article as a favorite? Thank you tons!

We are a service selling our product white-label. Therefore our product portal can offer custom URLs to our partners. If we could do the same for the Help Center, that would be a game changer for us!

I can't find anywhere a requirement on the format URL, however, when trying mycompany.com/page, I get a red error saying no space or special characters are not accepted. Any help is welcome.Thank you

The article is published, and the link is sent to our users by email. Some of the users can't view the published articles. The users who clicked on the link are different but on the article, it still shows that only 1 person has viewed the article. We have encountered this issue with multiple users. Is there any way to resolve this issue, so everyone who satisfies the rules can view the published article? Screenshot attached :Please view the attached images.

We run both - app and website. Both have very similar features however navigating in the app is different. Also things like subscription (because Apple iTunes ) is quite different. Now the same topic for web and app is in one article which is divided into two sections.  Any ideas on how to route mobile app users to a collection with hints for mobile app and website users to another article collection?  An audience rule is not an option as it hides articles completely if you don't fulfill a condition. Users should always have access to all articles, it'd be just very useful to be able to distinguish users from different platforms and to display different sections/collections to them first. Thanks for sharing your ideas.

We have visibility restrictions on some of our help articles. For these articles, the user must be signed into an active Zenlist account in order to view the help articles.  The vast majority of our users on their mobile devices are using our mobile app (versus using mobile web). What this means is - most of the time, our users are not signed into their Zenlist account on mobile web.  However, when we send our emails linking to help articles (for product updates, etc)., if the user is on mobile and clicks that help article, it automatically opens on mobile web. Because the user usually isn't signed into their account there, they usually get the "there's nothing to see here" screen and think we've made a mistake.  Is there any way to have linked help articles automatically open in our app versus on mobile web?  

When can we expected to be able to edit images in the article editor?

I work at a University and we are interested in implementing articles. I was hoping to get some examples of articles that other universities have found helpful.

Then, the user will have access to articles based on their own language.

We have several collections, each is visible to a specific group of users. It's pretty tedious to have to set the audience rules for each article in the collection and even more tedious when I have to go back and make changes.  Is there any way to set rules for an entire collection so that when I add articles to it they automatically assume those audience rules?

Hello, is the ability to embed documents to articles possible? Is there a workaround, or is it possible to request it as a feature request?

We are planning to translate our ~700 help articles to another language and I would like to obtain a word count for what we have written so far to estimate the cost. Is there a way to do this? I suspect we have to use the API or some other script to extract and then use another authoring tool that does word counts?

Hi everyone, hoping someone can help me out with an issue I'm seeing with my help center (help.apteo.co). I have a few articles in the center, however when I try to type in any search term into the search box, the resulting page not only doesn't show any results, it actually shows the entire help center homepage as it is. For example, searching for any key word will just show the entire help center, even if the keyword appears in an article. Here's a quick example of what's going on: https://www.loom.com/share/59f30154ba694107bb9b4b4b73b15412 Does anyone know how I might be able to fix this? Thank you!

All my article URLs have <domain name>.com/articles/<id>-article-name. I want to do away with the ID value in the URL and change it the name of the article only.  We maintain 9 accounts/business and want to have standard URL as per the article topic and not maintain IDs for every account. How do i update the articles URL for every collection or handle the redirection?  I have pinged on chat support but no reply.

How do I connect Route53 cname to help center and articles using custom domains?
