Knowledge Base tab
The Knowledge Base tab helps you understand how often your Help Center articles are being viewed, which articles are being voted up or down, which articles are generating the most comments and subscriptions, and more. The dashboard can help you identify which articles and categories generate the most traffic, how votes change after updating an article, and how article comments and subscriptions grow over time.
All reports in this dashboard use the Zendesk Guide > Knowledge Base dashboard.
To learn about the available reports, see Analyzing your knowledge base activity.
Search tab
The Search tab shows information about the searches that users performed and the terms they searched for in your knowledge base. It also shows you important information on how search volume affects ticket creation, and where you can improve your self-service performance.
All reports in this dashboard use the Zendesk Guide > Search dataset.
To learn about the available reports, see Analyzing help center search results with Explore.
Knowledge Capture tab

I have the 'Explore Lite' but the only pre-built Dashboard I see is for Support, as Judd mentioned above, how do I get the pre-built one for Guide/Help Center?
Hi Adriana Toyber, this is still rolling out to all customers and you'll hopefully get it very soon. We are targeting a date of March 11th to complete the rollout. If you don't have it by then, please let us know and we'll investigate. Thanks!
The Answer Bot tab has been renamed to Article Recommendations and moved to the new Zendesk Answer Bot dashboard. For more information, see Overview of the Zendesk Answer Bot dashboard.
In the Knowledgebase tab, I'm trying to get a view of the net negative article votes over the past year. I have selected "bottom 100" and get only a list of 46 articles, in addition they are not ordered in any way. I would like to see the "bottom 100" as the articles with the most net negative votes. Am I missing something about how this works in the dashboard? (I've also tried custom reporting, but it freezes up and I haven't been able to use it...) Here's a snip of what I see in the dashboard:
Hi Rob Stack, we have the Growth Suite. From your information, we should have the complete tabs: no mention that an Enterprise or Professional version is needed for the Community tab. How can we obtain/declare the Community tab? I can't see it. Please check the attached screenshot from what we have.
Following this article = modifications to be applied soon by your teams (https://support.zendesk.com/hc/en-us/articles/4762263171610-Announcing-Guide-legacy-reporting-upgrade-to-Explore-), we need this tab. Thanks.
Hi Olivier Degardin, I've opened this as a ticket for you. Someone will be in contact soon to investigate this with you.
Hi, 3 weeks later someone from Zendesk team came back to me to inform me that the Community tab won't be visible in the dashboard if Gather isn't activated for end users... My request was simple and detailed (only a few words where I mentioned we have the Growth Suite). When I go on the new provided link https://support.zendesk.com/hc/en-us/articles/4408882689306 by your colleague, here is what I see. A solution, please... ;)
