Copy / Duplicate Help Centre articles

Tim, you can speed up the process of duplicating articles from one brand to another by using the Help Center Manager app. It allows you to copy between brands: articles, sections, categories or even the content of an entire help center.

It's not free, but quite affordable and offer other benefits as well such as: Link checking, Find and Replace or Analytics.

This thread started in 2017, we almost hitting 2023.

I have now decided to no longer wait but instead recreate our Main Brand's Guide for all the sub-brands... This is going to be tedious work and annoying for maintenance because you lack the single source of truth.

We have 13 brands and 120+ articles, hopefully I can minimize this to 5 or 6 brands.

I have delayed this as much as I could but we are at the point that our customers are suffering for the lack of progress we have made in this regard. The problem is not the guide itself but the fact that we need a separate brand for each Bot (each in their own language) to use the articles (for both recommendation by the answer bot as for usage in the flow builder) .

Also, thinking from a customers perspective, we are going to have to duplicate articles within the same brand to be able to use across different categories and sections. This will also screw with the recommended articles we automatically include in our "ticket received" trigger.

As you can see, this problem is not just limited to slight inconvenience but hitting our customers experience directly. 

I think it would be fair to give us an update to why so little has been done this far (seemingly). Perhaps you are planning on a all new Guide? Which I would understand. Or have all the developers been moved to the new Bot (I really like the pace of releases for that btw). If that is the case, please move this issue to that team because it is a part of the same functionality.

anyway... I took some time here to write this, I hope you will do the same with the answer and give your customers some perspective.

Kind regards

Thanks 1263082116169 - I have submitted my feedback.

Hello! Any update on the feature to be able to to publish one article in multiple sections? I desperately need this for my help center.

This was originally posted in 2015. A Zendesk comment in 2021 mentioned something coming in 2022. 

It's August 2022. Any progress on being able to copy an article? 

Has this been done? It still says planned expected plan to release was before the end of 2021

After a few years, I am going to "unfollow" the article because obviously Zendesk is not taking action on this.  Have fun recreating articles instead of duplicate/copy!!!!
