Creating Articles Under Help Center Categories in Zendesk

Learn why you can't create articles directly under categories in Zendesk and how to organize your help center effectively.

Can I create articles directly under help center categories in Zendesk?

No, you cannot create articles directly under help center categories in Zendesk. Articles must be placed within sections or subsections, and these sections are then organized within categories.

If you're looking to streamline your help center, consider creating a single category and organizing your FAQs into multiple sections within that category. This setup will allow the help center to display all sections on the home page, making navigation easier for users. For more details, you can refer to the article: Getting started with Guide: Setting up.
