The Widgets are the embedded blocks on the platform that serve a specific purpose. Now you can add widgets to your Home page below the header section.

Currently, we offer widgets to display five different components.

  • Most viewed articles

    Views are quantified when a reader accesses the Article.

  • Most liked articles

    Likes are quantified when a reader hits the 'Thumbs up' icon at the end of each article on the Knowledge base site.

  • Most read articles

    Reads are quantified when a Reader:

    • Scrolls more than half of the article,
    • Spends more than one minute on the article, or
    • Clicks a hyperlink mentioned in the article

  • Recently modified articles

    The published articles that have been forked, updated, and republished

  • Recently created articles

    The new articles that have been published for the first time

For example, this is how the widget block looks on the home page when you add the Most viewed articles and Most read articles
