Make your Knowledge Base publicly available! To find this option, please log into the Paldesk application and go to the Administration > Knowledge Base.

Customize the Knowledge Base and Make it Public

On the General tab you can customize your knowledge base website with messages that fit your brand. At first, you will see two options:

• Enabled – if enabled, the Knowledge base will be publicly visible.
• Public – if not public, it will be visible only to your team. 

Under “Main labels”, you will find the following options:

• Search question – text displayed above the search box.
• Search placeholder – text displayed within the search box.
• Category text – text displayed above the list of categories.

Header options

In the header of each knowledge base you have 4 main options:

• Create a new Knowledge base
• Edit Knowledge base
• Edit Knowledge base footer data
• Delete the current Knowledge base

Besides the following options, in the header, you can find Knowledge base links. For public knowledge base, visible to all your visitors, use Public URL. For internal usage (your agents or administrators), use Internal URL.
