How to create a new help-centre article

Updated 4 months ago

Browse All

You can add help-centre articles from scratch or turn an accepted suggestion into a draft — handy when you want to document something SupportPages has not auto-drafted yet.

Prerequisites

  • You are signed in to SupportPages
  • You have at least one project set up

Steps

1

Open your project

From the Projects list, open the workspace for the help centre you want to update.

2

Go to Articles

In the sidebar under Help Centre, click Articles.

3

Start a blank article

Click New Article in the top-right corner of the Articles panel.

4

Fill in the article details

Enter a Title, add an optional Description for AI context, pick a Section if you want, then click Create Article.

5

Write or generate content

Your new article opens in the editor as a draft. Type content yourself, or click Generate to have AI draft the article for you.

6

Open your Inbox for suggestions

To create from a suggestion instead, click Inbox in the sidebar.

7

Select a suggestion

Under Suggestions, click the article topic you want to add to your help centre.

8

Accept the suggestion

Review the description on the right, then click Accept. SupportPages generates a draft article you can edit before publishing.

Review and publish

When generation finishes, find the draft in your Inbox or Articles list. Edit as needed, then click Publish when you are ready for customers to see it.

Tips

  • Add a Description when creating a blank article — it gives AI better context if you generate content later.
  • Suggestions in your Inbox come from your codebase and recent changes, so accepting one is a quick way to fill gaps in your help centre.

Summary

Use New Article on the Articles page for a blank draft, or accept a suggestion in your Inbox to generate one automatically. Either way, review the draft and publish when it is ready.
