Answer analysis
Option-by-option breakdown
For each option: why learners choose it and why it is or isn't the right answer here.
- ✗
By changing the case state to 'Resolved with Knowledge'
Why it's wrong here
Case states do not include a specific state named 'Resolved with Knowledge' out of the box.
- ✓
By clicking the 'Attach' button in the Contextual Search results sidebar
Why this is correct
Clicking 'Attach' creates a record in the m2m table linking the case and the knowledge article natively.
- ✗
By updating the 'Knowledge Article' field on the case form header
Why it's wrong here
There is no baseline single 'Knowledge Article' reference field on the case header for attaching multiple articles.
- ✗
By copying the article URL into the work notes
Why it's wrong here
While possible, this is a manual workaround and does not use the native knowledge attachment tracking mechanism.
