How the help center content library works

Your help center content is collections and articles you manage from the dashboard. Learn how they fit together and which states a reader actually sees.

Everything on your public help center is content you write and manage from the dashboard, under your help center's Content area. It holds two kinds of thing: collections and articles.

Collections and articles

  • Articles are the pages readers open and search.

  • Collections group related articles together, like Getting Started or Billing.

  • You can nest a collection inside another to build a small hierarchy.

Draft and published

Every article has a status: Draft, In Review, Published, or Archived. Only Published articles appear on your public help center; the rest are visible to you in the dashboard but not to readers. A collection has no draft state: it goes live the moment you create it, even while empty.

Where to work

  • Open your help center and go to Content to see the full library.

  • Use New Article (or New Content on the Overview) to write a page, and New Collection to group them.

  • To see the public result, use the preview. See Preview your live help center.
