Editing Articles

A comprehensive guide to configuring article settings, using AI tools for content generation, and sharing articles in the knowledge base.

Basic Settings

The article editor provides essential settings to control how your knowledge base articles are structured and published.

Title

The article title is a required field that appears in navigation menus, search results, and as the page heading when visitors view the article. Choose a clear, descriptive title that accurately represents the article's content.

Language

Articles can be written in multiple languages to support international audiences. The language setting determines:

  • Which language version of the article is displayed
  • How the article appears in language-specific navigation
  • URL slugs and SEO optimization for that language

If the article is in the knowledge base's primary language, this field is read-only. For translations, you can select from the configured additional languages in your knowledge base settings.

Published Status

The published toggle controls whether the article is visible to visitors:

  • Published: Article is live and accessible via your widget URLs
  • Unpublished: Article is saved as a draft and only visible in the dashboard

When you publish an article, it automatically gets indexed for chatbot responses and search functionality.

AI Tools

The article editor includes powerful AI tools to help you create and refine content more efficiently.

AI Content Generation

The AI Content button opens a comprehensive modal with three different modes for working with article content:

Creates a completely new article from scratch based on your description. Perfect for brainstorming new topics or getting initial drafts started.

When to use:

  • Starting fresh with a clear concept
  • Creating structured content from ideas
  • Building articles from topic descriptions

The AI generates structured HTML content with proper headings, paragraphs, and formatting.

AI Title Generation

The AI Title button automatically generates engaging, concise titles based on your article content. Simply click the button after writing your content, and the AI will suggest a 2-6 word title that captures the essence of your article.

Pro tip: Generate your content first, then use AI Title generation for the best results. The AI analyzes your full article to create relevant, engaging titles.

Sharing Articles

Articles can only be shared when they are published and your knowledge base has at least one widget attached. The Share button will be disabled until these requirements are met.

Once your article meets the sharing requirements, you can share it directly with visitors using the Share button. The sharing functionality provides direct URLs that visitors can use to access your articles. For detailed information about sharing options and configuration, see our Article Sharing Guide.
