Analyzing your Team Publishing activity

What's my plan?

Zendesk Explore features a prebuilt dashboard named Team Publishing that helps you understand your team activity in Guide. The dashboard can help you understand when articles are created, published, edited and more. Additionally, you can use the dashboard to help you understand how your agents are participating in the content creation process.

You can edit and customize the Team Publishing dashboard by cloning it (see Cloning Explore dashboards).

Tip: If you need something more complex, you can write your own reports using a wide range of metrics and attributes. For details, see Creating reports.

The information in Explore dashboards is updated on a schedule. The schedule depends on which Explore plan you are using. For details, see Data refresh intervals for Explore reporting.
