- In Name, enter the title of your knowledge base
Example: Product Documentation, Help Center, Internal Docs - In URL Slug, enter the path where the knowledge base should load
Example: docs, help, kb
This will create a URL like yoursite.com/docs - Under Access Restrictions, keep Restrict Access OFF if the knowledge base should be public
- Turn Restrict Access ON if the knowledge base should be private and only visible to logged-in users or specific roles
- Under Copy Appearance, turn this ON if you want to use the same colors, fonts, logo, and styling from your default knowledge base
- Leave Copy Appearance OFF if this knowledge base needs a different design
- Under Copy Header & Footer, turn this ON if you want the same menu, CTA buttons, footer text, and branding
- Leave Copy Header & Footer OFF if this knowledge base needs a different navigation or layout
