#### **Why do my Recently Created Articles and Recently Modified Articles elements appear similar in the Knowledge base site?**

This behavior is expected.

- **Recently Created Articles** displays articles that are published for the first time.
- **Recently Modified Articles** displays articles that are updated and republished.

However, when an article is published for the first time, the initial publish action is also treated as its first modification event. Because of this, a newly published article may temporarily appear in both widgets.
