Automatically added through a workflow
Workflow steps can be set up to add content directly to the Knowledge Base by uploading it to the Workflow step.
When building a Content workflow step under Content Usage there is a toggle " Add content directly to the Knowledge Base". When turned on this will add content that was added to this step to the Knowledge Base.
You can also choose to have this content added directly to a Collection. If no collection is chosen it will go to the default organization collection.
When added directly to the Knowledge Base the content will show up as Untitled, with tags that were added to the content, and the user's email associated as the uploader.
To edit this information read this: Update content in the Knowledge Base
NOTE: There is no approval process for this content. Once the job is completed all content in this step will be added to the Knowledge Base. It is a best practice to make very clear what type of content to place here (i.e. Training Resources, etc...)
Additional Information
If there are older units that an organization frequently runs into we recommend adding the content to your organization's knowledge base.
