How do I share my confluence article as knowledgebase article

Question

Guys, I'm at a loss here...

I created an article with confluence and now I want to access this article via the knowledgebase of my project, as this is the only place where I can get a public link for my users.

If I create an article within the knowledgebase area of jsm, it is directly visible and shareable.

What is the difference here?

Edit: I somehow was able to do this in the past, but it does not work anymore.

Great that it works now! Those articles should show up in the KB immediately but yes, sometimes we have to be a little patient.

Hi Rebekka,

forget my other answer, it seems it only took 1 hour or so to appear in the knowledgebase...

Many thx for your input!

Hi Rebekka,

thank you for replying, but I'm not sure if I can answer those question correctly.

"i assume that you created the article in a space that is connected to the knowledgebase?"

I really don't know. I have my project and that creates an area, right? So I already have a lot of articles within that area.

Upon publishing my latest article, I select that area and even some branch I created underneath that. I publish it with access open to everyone, but only selected may edit the page. I don't see any other restrictions.

The article has the kb-troubleshooting-article as tag, but others without the tag are also already visible to users.

About the public link thing: Was this changed recently? And would it maybe only affect new articles and not the ones that are already created?

I understand that option as public links for confluence, which is something I do not want. It should just be available in the knowledgebase area of my project.

I hope I don't sound totally stupid...
