Domain overview
This domain covers Salesforce Knowledge setup, authoring, lifecycle, and access in Service Cloud. Questions test article types, rich-text fields, data categories, Lightning Service Console Knowledge features, translations, channel visibility, and archiving behavior across internal users and Experience Cloud sites.
Exam objectives
Configuring Knowledge article page layouts with rich text area fields for formatted content and embedded images
Granting external Experience Cloud users access to translated Knowledge articles via profiles, permission sets, and sharing
Enabling Knowledge search, article preview, and Lightning Service Console Knowledge component for support agents
Understanding how archiving Knowledge articles affects visibility on customer-facing Experience Cloud sites
Assuming a standard text field supports rich formatting; rich text area fields are required for embedded images and tables.
Overlooking that external Experience Cloud users need Knowledge object permissions and data category visibility, not just internal sharing.
Believing archived articles remain visible to customers; archiving removes articles from customer-facing channels immediately.
