How can one enable classic view in knowledge base to edit articles

[PrashantT288201]

Sorry couldn't find the Knowledge Management community under location picker.

I am trying to enable the classic view of knowledge article editor as I am not very well versed with the new interface (obviously)

I needed help getting this view back:

Thanks in advance.

Hi My Friend,

Your trying to get back to the old (classic) Knowledge article editor instead of the newer workspace style one — totally understandable a lot of people prefer that layout.

In most cases the classic editor is still there but it depends on how you open the article.

Try this first:

• Open Knowledge articles from the main platform navigation Knowledge → Articles not from Workspace.

• Once the article opens, check the view selector at the top and switch to “Classic” if its available.

If your always landing in the new editor, its usuallly because:

• Workspace editing is enabled, or

• your instance is defaulting to the new Knowledge authoring experience.

An admin can switch this behavior off via Knowledge/Workspace settings or system properties but in newer releases the classic editor is gradually being phased out so sometimes its limited to certain roles or navigation paths.

Hi Friend, 

You can force form view by typing this in naviagtion area: kb_knowledge.do

OR 

Disable the workspace by navigating to sys_properties.list and disabling glide.knowman.use_km_workspace
