Article Feedback

Article feedback in Zoho Desk collects customer ratings on knowledge base articles, helping teams identify and improve unhelpful content.

Article feedback in Zoho Desk is the rating customers provide after reading a knowledge base article, typically a thumbs up or thumbs down, along with optional comments. Feedback data helps teams identify and improve unhelpful or outdated articles.

How Feedback Is Collected

At the bottom of each Zoho Desk article, customers can rate the article as helpful or unhelpful. When they rate it unhelpful, they can optionally leave a comment explaining what was missing or confusing. This qualitative input is invaluable for article improvement.

Using Feedback to Improve the Knowledge Base

Zoho Desk reports on article feedback scores. Articles with low helpfulness ratings are flagged for review. Support managers can prioritise rewriting or expanding low-rated articles, especially those that receive high traffic, as these affect the most customers.

Feedback and Agent Visibility

Agents can see article feedback when composing ticket replies. If an agent is about to recommend an article with a low feedback score, they are aware it may not resolve the customer’s question, prompting them to supplement it with a direct explanation.

Example: A telecommunications company notices their ‘Port Your Number’ article has a 35% helpfulness rating despite high traffic. Reviewing the feedback comments, they find customers are confused by step 3. After rewriting step 3 with screenshots, the helpfulness rating rises to 78% within two weeks.
