Effect of Saving Changes on Live Articles in Zendesk

Understand how saving changes in Zendesk creates a work in progress version, leaving the live article unchanged until publication.

What happens to the live article when I save changes in Zendesk?

When you save changes to an article in Zendesk, a work in progress version is created, and the live article remains unaffected.

This means that any updates you make are saved separately and do not impact the published version until you decide to publish the staged version. This feature allows you to work on content updates without disrupting the current live content.
