Hi Shirin,
This is isn't a feature available on any Guide plan as of now however I do believe this is a neat feature to have! I'd suggest posting on our Feedback section to engage with other users who have similar needs and discuss possible workarounds. Conversations with a high level of engagement ultimately get flagged for product managers to review when they go through roadmap planning.
Hi @...,
You could try using Google Analytics to check the effectiveness of your Help Center & also analyze if your Help Center articles traffic: Google Analytics and help center - Part 2: Measuring the effectiveness of search . If you are interested, I recommend enabling it to your Help Center (Enabling Google Analytics for your help center)
Hi,
I have a question about archived articles: I archived some articles last week, and these archived articles are still appearing in the search. Is this expected or a bug? it's very confusing since customers encounter a 404 error when they select those articles in the search results.
Thanks!
it is not intended, that articles still appear.
Maybe this is due to Cache and Cookies in the Browser.
To investigate, I will create a ticket from this post and will reach out to you via Email.
Hi,
Was this bug ever fixed? I also just faced this problem where an archived article is being return in the response to /articles api call.
Thanks!
