This release was first deployed to Vanilla cloud on March 10th, 2020.
Knowledge Base
The knowledge-base settings page has been update to reflect some new functionality. There now are 3 tabs which different configuration settings.
- General which contains previous knowledge-base settings.
- Permissions (new feature).
- Universal Content (new feature).
The tabs maintain their state, so users can navigate between tabs and not lose their configured settings. The form is saved collectively, so if there are any issues in a specific tab a tool tip will be provided to make the user aware of any issues that have arisen.
Knowledge-Base specific permissions
Administrators are now able to set specific permissions on an individual knowledge based on a users role.
There are currently 2 permissions.
- Viewers: who can only view knowledge-base content
- Content Creators: who can perform general actions such as adding/editing articles, organizing categories, etc.
Universal Content
Universal content gives administrators/moderators the ability create a universal knowledge-base (Universal Source) whose contents can be shared across multiple other knowledge-bases (Universal Targets).
From the settings page you'll be able to set a universal source and the selected targets. The content will be then appear in the selected targeted knowledge-bases. Help Center sources will appear as an addition help center navigation under the main navigation. Guides will appear as Cards, in the same way they do on the Knowledge base Chooser.
