An article's page is where you read one answer from the knowledge base, say whether it helped, and — if you write articles — amend it, send it for review, publish it or archive it. Open one from the **Search** or **All articles** tab of [Articles](/documents/knowledge-base). An article people follow is treated like a controlled document: every published version is kept, the history is on the page, and changing a published article never rewrites what people are following until the change is published. A published article with its version, reader feedback, the note it came from and its history A published article with its version, reader feedback, the note it came from and its history ## The header | Part | What it shows | | - | - | | **Articles** | Back to the knowledge base | | Title | The article's title | | Status pill | **draft**, **in review**, **published** or **archived** | | Type pill | The kind of article, such as troubleshooting | | **v***n* **in review** / **draft v***n* **waiting** | A published article has a newer version being prepared | | Code, kind of asset, failure code | Such as KB-0001, Centrifugal Pump, BRG-WEAR | | **written by** | The author | Under the header: how many **views**, how many readers **said it helped** and **said it did not**, and the date it was **published**. ## The buttons Which buttons you see depends on the article's state and your permissions (see [who can do what](/documents/knowledge-base#who-can-do-what)). | Button | What it does | When it appears | | - | - | - | | **Amend** | Opens a new draft of the article. The published version stays exactly as it is | You may edit articles, and the article is not archived | | **Continue the draft** | Changes the draft that is already waiting | Replaces **Amend** while a newer draft exists | | **Ask for a review** | Sends the draft to review. The article stays published meanwhile | There is a draft not yet in review | | **Publish** | Makes the draft the published version. The previous version is marked superseded | There is a draft, and you may publish articles | | **Archive** | Takes the article out of search, with a reason | You may archive articles, and it is not archived | | **Restore** | Brings an archived article back | The article is archived, and you may archive articles | ### The status flow | Status | Meaning | Visible in search | | - | - | - | | **draft** | Being written. A new article starts here, and **Save draft** never publishes | No | | **in review** | Waiting for somebody who may publish to agree to the words | No (a published article stays visible while its next version is in review) | | **published** | The answer people follow | Yes | | **archived** | No longer the answer. Its versions are kept | No | Editing a draft that is waiting on a review sends it back to draft, so the review has to be asked for again — the reviewer agrees to the words that will actually be published. ## Reading it The body is headed **Version** *n* — the version readers are following — with the summary first and the full text below. While a newer version is being prepared, a second panel, **Draft v***n* **— not published yet**, shows it beside the published one, with **Renamed to:** *title* if the draft changes the title. ### Was this any use? At the end of the body, **Was this any use?** asks for **Yes** or **No**. A **No** opens a box — "What was wrong with it? This is the part an author can act on." — and **Send**. Afterwards the page says "You said this version helped" (or did not), with **Change your answer**. Your answer is for this version: a new version asks again. It is two buttons rather than a star rating because the question worth answering is whether to keep the article at all. ### What people said Every comment readers left, as sentences with who wrote them and when, marked with whether they found it useful. The dissenting comments are shown in full rather than folded into a percentage, because "reads as pump-specific — the same bearing is in the conveyor drives" tells an author what to fix. ### Came from the floor The technicians' notes this article was made from, with who wrote them, on which asset, and when. See [From the floor](/documents/knowledge-base#from-the-floor). ### History Every version, newest first: its number, its status, what changed, when it was made, and **superseded** *date* for versions that have been replaced. ## Amending an article **Amend** (or **Continue the draft**) opens **Amend this article** (or **Continue draft v***n*). The Amend this article form The Amend this article form The form says what will happen: "This opens a new draft. The published version stays exactly as it is until somebody publishes the draft." On a draft already in review it warns that saving sends it back to draft. | Field | What it means | Notes | | - | - | - | | **Title** | The article's title | Filled in from the current version | | **What it says** | The article's body | Filled in from the current version | | **What changed** | A short note on this version | Optional. "Shown in the history beside this version" | **Save draft** saves the draft. Nothing changes for readers until it is published. ## Archiving and restoring **Archive** opens **Archive this article**: "It stops appearing in search. Its versions stay, because somebody followed them." It asks **Why is this no longer the answer?** — the next author needs this. **Archive** confirms. An archived article shows **Archived** *date* **by** *who*, and says it "does not appear in search, and cannot be amended or published until it is restored." **Restore** brings it back. ## Related Searching the knowledge base and writing new articles.
