Knowledge base

Quick answer

A collection of articles, guides and answers a company maintains so customers or staff can solve problems themselves.

Knowledge bases live in tools like Zendesk Guide, Confluence, Notion and SharePoint. Each article reflects expert knowledge about a product or process.

Paired with the tickets that reference them, knowledge-base articles show how experts resolve real issues, which is useful for evaluating support assistants and retrieval systems.
