Answer analysis
Option-by-option breakdown
For each option: why learners choose it and why it is or isn't the right answer here.
- ✓
Use the 'Attach' button from the Contextual Search results in the case form
Why this is correct
The 'Attach' action links the knowledge article to the case's 'Attached Knowledge Articles' related list.
- ✗
Click 'Publish to Community' on the article form
Why it's wrong here
This pushes the article to the community portal rather than linking it to the active case.
- ✗
Submit a Feedback task to the Knowledge Author
Why it's wrong here
Feedback tasks are used to suggest edits or report issues with the article, not to attach it to a case.
- ✗
Change the case state to Closed Resolved and reference the article in the Work notes
Why it's wrong here
While work notes can mention articles, the proper tracking method is attaching the article directly via Contextual Search.
