Why Blank Spaces Appear in Zendesk Reports

Learn why blank spaces appear in Zendesk article reports and how to manage them effectively.

Why do I see blank spaces in my Zendesk article reports?

Blank spaces in your Zendesk article reports occur when an article has been deleted, archived, or unpublished. While Explore continues to report on the number of views or ratings these articles received, the title and other article information will not be displayed. This is because the article's metadata is no longer available once it is removed from active status.

If you want to remove these blank attributes from your report, you can refer to the article on hiding rows and columns for guidance. This will help you clean up your reports and focus on the data that is still relevant. For more details, check out the originalZendesk help article.
