Setting Up Your Internal Knowledge Base
What are the options for setting up an internal knowledge base?
When setting up an internal knowledge base, you have a couple of options depending on your existing structure and plans. You can choose a single shared help center where both internal and external content coexist, or a multibrand help center where internal content is separate from external content.
A single shared help center allows for unified search capabilities across all content but requires careful management of visibility permissions. On the other hand, a multibrand setup keeps internal and external content physically separate, simplifying visibility management but requiring separate searches. Consider your organization's needs and resources when deciding which setup is best for you.
