Related articles

Related articles help readers navigate between articles the author selects that relate to the article. For example, you can link a troubleshooting article to its corresponding setup guide so readers can easily find context. The added articles appear at the bottom of the article on the Knowledge base site.

Dual linking

If the Dual linking checkbox inside the Related articles panel is checked, the current article is also referenced as "Related" in each of the added articles. This means the relationship is bidirectional — both articles will show each other in their respective Related articles sections on the Knowledge base site.


Auto relate

Turn on the Auto relate this article to all related articles toggle on the Article settings panel to automatically link the active article to other related articles. When enabled, this article will appear in the Related articles section of every article it is linked to — without needing to manually add it from each of those articles.

Settings menu for related articles with auto-relate toggle and article suggestions.


FAQ

If a reader doesn't have access to an article, will it appear under the Related articles section in the Knowledge base site?

No, if a reader lacks access to a specific article, the link to that article will not appear in the Related articles section of any other articles in the Knowledge base site. Only articles accessible to the reader will be displayed in this section.

Why are related articles appearing on the article page, though no related articles are configured manually?

This can happen because the Dynamic Related Article Recommendation (AI setting) is enabled, which auto-populates related articles regardless of manual configuration.

To resolve this:

  1. Navigate to Settings () > AI settings in the left navigation bar in the Knowledge base portal.

  2. In the left navigation pane, navigate to Eddy AI settings.

  3. Expand the AI search suite accordion and turn off the Dynamic related article recommendation toggle.

Once the Dynamic related article recommendation is turned off, related articles will not appear unless you manually add them.
