What to know about Knowledge Management
Be able to configure Knowledge article types, page layouts, data categories, and Lightning Service Console Knowledge components, and control article visibility for internal and external users. The most important thing is getting channel and data category access right so the correct users see the correct articles.
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
Watch out for
Common Knowledge Management exam traps
- ▸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.
