Article multiplacement lets you create one article and place it in up to 10 different sections across all brands in your help center.

Article placements share the same title and body but have a unique article ID and placement configuration that tells your help center where the placement article should appear. As a result, when you update the content of an article, the content of related placements are also updated and published. This powerful feature makes it possible to create content once and share it between multiple sections and brands.

This article includes the following sections:

• Previewing an article placement
• Editing an article placement
• Deleting an article placement
