An administrator has set up a custom approval process for Knowledge articles. When an article is submitted for approval, the author should no longer be able to edit the article content, but reviewers need to be able to make minor inline edits before final approval. Which configuration satisfies this requirement?

A.Use a validation rule that checks if the current user is an approver and bypasses the read-only restriction on published articles.

An administrator is troubleshooting an issue where certain external users on a Community (Experience Cloud site) cannot view translated Knowledge articles. Standard internal users can view them without issue. What is the most likely cause of this behavior?

A.Knowledge translation is only supported for internal users with a full Salesforce license.

C.Language permissions and Data Category visibility for the specific language have not been granted to the Experience Cloud site profile or permission set.

External profiles require explicit language access and data category visibility assignments to view translated knowledge articles.

Why this answer

Language visibility and Data Category visibility must be explicitly configured for external profiles/permission sets in Experience Cloud sites to ensure translated articles appear correctly.

Universal Containers uses Salesforce Knowledge and requires that articles written in English are automatically translated to Spanish when submitted for review. What is the correct way to handle translation in Salesforce Knowledge?

A.Create a separate article type for Spanish and use workflow field updates to copy English content.
