Enhancements

1. Version as menu

Add public versions as a menu on your knowledge base articles page. This helps showcase the available versions in your knowledge base and provides easy navigation for your end-users.

To access the version display setting in the knowledge base portal, go to
Settings → Knowledge base portal → Localization & Versions → Localization & Versions (tab) → Display versions as a menu (toggle) → ON

For example, you have multiple public versions such as FAQ, Troubleshooting, Sales, and Customer support in your knowledge base. When the 'Display versions as a menu' toggle is on, versions are displayed as a menu. When the toggle is off, versions are displayed as a dropdown.
