Custom pages

The Custom pages feature in Document360 allows you to create dedicated, standalone pages for your Knowledge base site. Custom pages are separate from standard articles and provide the flexibility to add content like Terms & Conditions, Privacy policies, and Copyrights. With options for customization, multilingual support, and navigation configuration, Custom pages can enhance the user experience of the Knowledge base site and keep your content organized.

NOTE

This feature is exclusively available for KB site 2.0 projects.

2. In the left navigation pane, navigate to  Content tools > Custom pages.

NOTE

Users with Draft writer, or Editor content roles can create a custom page in the Knowledge base portal. You can also create custom roles with exclusive permissions for custom pages.

The editor provides Advanced WYSIWYG options, allowing you to format text, add images, and structure content as needed.

• Add and format content: Add content, images, and other formatting and insert options to organize the content as needed.

• Set SEO details: Navigate to More () > SEO, and enter the Meta title, URL slug, and Description for your custom page.

• Collaborate with team members: Add inline comments directly on the content, allowing others to provide feedback and suggestions.

Once you have finished creating your custom page, click Publish to go live.

NOTE

To keep a custom page in draft mode, save your content without selecting Publish. This keeps the page hidden from the live site until it’s ready to be published.
