Sorting Promoted Articles on Help Center Home Page

Learn how promoted articles are sorted on the Help Center home page using Absolute Positional Order.

How are promoted articles sorted on the Help Center home page?

Promoted articles on the Help Center home page are sorted using the "Absolute Positional Order" method. This means they are organized based on three factors: the position of the Category, the position of the Section within that Category, and finally, the position of the Article within its Section.

To see how this works, you can navigate to your Help Center, go to Articles, and then Arrange articles. By expanding each Category and Section, you can visualize the order in which promoted articles will appear from top to bottom. For more details, you can refer to the originalZendesk article.
