  • When working on a knowledge article task, you can edit the knowledge article from within the task. A feedback task is created for a knowledge article when the article is flagged, marked as not helpful, or rated low, or a knowledge gap feedback task is created on a topic.

    Avant de commencer

    Role required: You must have contribute access to the knowledge base that stores the knowledge article.
    Remarque :
    If the article versioning feature is enabled, only the knowledge administrator, knowledge managers, and author can edit the checked-out version of an article. If the feature is disabled, any users with contribute access to an article can edit the draft version of the article. An administrator can disable the article versioning feature by setting the glide.knowman.versioning.enabled property (from the System Property [sys_properties] table) to false.
