Turn a familiar question into lasting help

The answer you wrote today
can help someone tomorrow.

Start with a question your team hears often. Write the steps clearly, add a useful title and excerpt, and publish an article customers can return to whenever they need it.

Getting started / Your team

A good start is
better together.

Invite a colleague so your customers have more than one person to turn to.

  1. Open Team in your workspace settings.
  2. Choose Invite teammate.
  3. Enter their email address and send the invitation.
Check the address before sending. It makes the next step easier for everyone.

Enough structure to make it clear.

Use headings, lists, links, emphasis, quotes and code to explain the answer. An excerpt helps readers know whether they’ve found the right guide before they open it.

Choose public or internal visibility, and use draft, published and archived states to manage the article as its purpose changes.

Explore the article states

Write before you share.

A draft stays out of public help. Read through the steps, check the details and decide who the article is for.

Help people find their way

Organise the way
your customers think.

A useful library needs a little order. Group articles into categories and subcategories, give each group a clear name and description, and arrange them in a sensible order.

Readers can browse a topic or search for words in an article’s title, excerpt and content. A question about an invitation should lead them towards the steps, even if they don’t know the name of the feature.

Set the Help Centre’s name and description, and add search titles and descriptions to individual articles. You also choose whether the base and its articles may be indexed by search engines.

Put help where it can be useful

A good answer should
be easy to reach.

Some customers look for a guide before they ask. Others need it in the middle of a conversation. Give published help a home, then make it available in the places your customers already use.

You control whether the public Help Centre and widget knowledge are enabled. Public help shows published articles with public visibility.

Choose the audience with care

Some answers are for customers.
Some context is for your team.

Keep both in the same knowledge workspace, with separate choices for article visibility and AI use. Publishing an article publicly and allowing AI to retrieve it are decisions you make.

Choose what readers see.

Choose what AI can use.

Enable or exclude articles from AI, and set a customer, agent or shared audience for eligible knowledge.

Keep internal context with the team.

Agent Copilot’s Related Knowledge can use internal material. Customer-facing answers and reply suggestions use customer-safe evidence.

Start with information you already have

Your best knowledge
may already exist.

You don’t have to rewrite every guide to make it useful to AI. Add supported public website content, documents or pasted text as knowledge sources, then choose their audience.

The source list shows whether content is queued, processing, ready or needs attention. Update an external source and sync it again when the information changes.

Published, AI-enabled articles are connected to this index too. Saving changes queues their knowledge update; moving an article out of publication or disabling AI removes its indexed content from retrieval.

Start with the question you heard this morning

You don’t need a huge library
to make a useful start.

A few accurate, easy-to-find articles can already help. Build around the questions your customers bring, then keep improving the answers as your product and team grow.

  1. 01

    Pick a question worth answering.

    Choose a repeated setup task, a policy people ask about or a detail that is easy to miss.

  2. 02

    Write it so someone can use it.

    Give it a plain title, a short introduction and steps that lead to a useful result. Put it in the category a reader would expect.

  3. 03

    Choose where it should help.

    Set its visibility, publish when it’s ready and decide whether it should also be available to AI.

A few useful answers

Before you publish
your first guide.

Do we need to use AI to have a knowledge base?

No. Articles, categories, public search and widget self-service are useful on their own. AI is an optional way to use eligible knowledge, subject to your plan and workspace setup.

Can we keep some articles for our team?

Yes. Internal visibility keeps an article out of the public Help Centre and customer knowledge results. When enabled for an appropriate AI audience, internal material can support teammate-only knowledge retrieval.

Can we have categories within categories?

Yes. Categories support subcategories, descriptions and sort order. Readers can browse a topic and its child categories to find the published public articles within it.

Can visitors read help inside the chat widget?

Yes. Enable public help and widget knowledge to make published public articles searchable and readable inside the widget. Visitors can still start a conversation when they need more help.

What can we add as an AI knowledge source?

Supported sources include AI-enabled published articles, public URLs, limited same-site website sections, pasted text and PDF, DOCX, TXT or Markdown files. For PDFs, use documents with selectable text. The source must finish processing before it is ready for retrieval.

What happens when an article changes or is archived?

Saving a published, AI-enabled article queues its knowledge update. Moving it to draft or archive, or disabling AI, removes the article’s indexed content from retrieval. Draft and archived articles are also excluded from public help.

Does publishing automatically make an article available to AI?

AI eligibility is a separate article setting. A published article is indexed for AI when that setting is enabled; audience rules still govern who can retrieve it. You can publish useful public help while excluding it from AI.
