Each article has a title, body content with rich formatting (images, videos, code blocks), tags, and SEO meta fields. Articles can be marked as published or draft and restricted to specific customer groups.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"gt-section\">\n<h2>Article Feedback and Improvement<\/h2>\n<p>Customers can rate articles as helpful or unhelpful. Zoho Desk tracks article feedback, showing which articles have low helpfulness scores. This data guides the knowledge management team to update or rewrite underperforming articles.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"gt-section\">\n<h2>Using Articles to Deflect Tickets<\/h2>\n<p>The ASAP widget and Answer Bot surface relevant articles to customers before they submit a ticket. When an article resolves the customer&#8217;s question, the ticket is never created. Zoho Desk tracks this as an article deflection, measuring the knowledge base&#8217;s return on investment.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"gt-example-box\"><strong>Example:<\/strong> A cloud storage company publishes a step-by-step article on how to recover deleted files. After publishing, 200 customers per month read the article and resolve their own issues, reducing tickets for this topic by 60% compared to the previous quarter.<\/div>\n<div class=\"gt-related-pills\"><a href=\"https:\/\/aaxonix.com\/resources\/glossary\/help-centre-zoho-desk\/\" class=\"gt-related-pill sp-content-link\">Help Centre<\/a><br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/aaxonix.com\/resources\/glossary\/article-category-zoho-desk\/\" class=\"gt-related-pill sp-content-link\">Article Category<\/a><br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/aaxonix.com\/resources\/glossary\/article-feedback-zoho-desk\/\" class=\"gt-related-pill sp-content-link\">Article Feedback<\/a><br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/aaxonix.com\/resources\/glossary\/answer-bot-zoho-desk\/\" class=\"gt-related-pill sp-content-link\">Answer Bot<\/a>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"gt-faq-item\"><strong>What is a Knowledge Base Article in Zoho Desk?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>A knowledge base article is a self-service document in the Help Centre that answers customer questions or guides them through resolving known issues.
