Public knowledge base

What is a public knowledge base?

A public knowledge base site is accessible by everyone on the web. The published content of the knowledge base site can be accessed with direct links or via search engines on the web browser. No login is required.

For example, Document360's help article site, docs.document360.com is a public access knowledge base.

Accessing the Site access page

From the knowledge base portal, click on Settings → Site access. The project name with the three available site access settings would be available.

• Public

• Private

• Mixed

A green Public label would be available next to the site access option in the menu.
