In the Document360 Knowledge base site, users can like or dislike an article or page category, providing valuable feedback to improve content quality. Users can perform this action multiple times if needed.

Imagine a reader is viewing an article in your Knowledge base site about creating and managing categories for organizing content. The instructions are helpful, but the reader notices that one step is missing a screenshot, which would make the process clearer. The reader can click the dislike () icon to submit feedback, explaining that adding a screenshot for step 3 would improve the article.

This feedback process allows readers to directly contribute to enhancing the Knowledge base, ensuring it remains helpful and accurate for everyone.

NOTE

The undo likes and dislikes feature is supported only in KB Site 2.0 projects. If you’d like to migrate your project to KB Site 2.0, please read the article on KB site 2.0 Migration.

FAQs

What happens if I click dislike (), provide feedback, and then undo the dislike? What will happen to my feedback in the Feedback manager?

If you undo a dislike after submitting feedback, the following will occur in the Feedback manager in the Knowledge base portal:

  • If the feedback is in an open state, it will be deleted.

  • If the feedback is assigned to a team member or in any other state, it will be marked as Removed, indicating that the feedback is no longer active.

Will undoing a dislike still be recorded in the Analytics section?

No, once you undo a dislike, the action is canceled and will not be recorded in the Analytics () section. This ensures that only active interactions are captured for analysis.

What happens if I select the "Notify me about updates" checkbox?

If you select Notify me about updates and provide your email, the designated team handling feedback can respond in the Knowledge base portal, and you’ll be notified of any replies related to your feedback.

Can I provide multiple likes or dislikes on the same article over time?

You cannot give multiple likes and dislikes on the same article. However, you can change your feedback by simply clicking the opposite button (like or dislike) to switch your feedback status. If you've already left comments, these will remain associated with the new feedback type.
