Before you dig in, here's a quick video of the Groove KB in action:

 

The Knowledge Base allows you to build out a self-help resource directly from your Groove account.  Head to Knowledge Base and start creating articles!

From the article editor page you can control a variety of settings for your articles:

  • Tags - tag your articles with related keywords to help your users find the right articles.
  • Related Articles - give users an easy way to explore your content by adding linked articles to the bottom of your article pages
  • SEO Settings - all SEO meta data is easy to setup & configure (author, title, description, language, etc.) and you have the option to decide whether you want your article crawled or displayed on search engines.
  • Open Graph Settings - all open graph meta data is setup (author, pagetype, language, etc.) and you can choose the title, description, and image that is shown when sharing your articles on social media and instant messaging platforms
  • Editing Article Slugs - change the URL for an article as needed. 

Unpublished articles will be saved as drafts. Publishing an article makes it live on your Knowledge Base and visible to the public

Moving an article to trash places it in your trash folder, where it can either be permanently deleted or restored to your knowledge base. 

Categories

Managing categories has a similar flow to that of managing articles:

From the category editor you can rearrange the order of your articles within the category by dragging and dropping. To change the order of your categories, drag the category up or down the list from the category overview page.
