Workaround for Articles Under Categories in Zendesk

Learn a workaround for organizing articles in Zendesk by using sections within a single category for better structure.

What is a workaround for creating articles under categories in Zendesk?

Since you can't create articles directly under categories in Zendesk, a workaround is to use sections within a single category. This involves creating one category and organizing your articles into multiple sections within it.

This setup allows the help center to display all sections on the home page, making it easier for users to find the information they need. This method not only simplifies the structure but also enhances the user experience by providing a clear and organized layout.
