Help Center articles are grouped into categories. Before adding an article, you must create at least one category.
Open the Articles page
From the Help Centers list, click Articles on the Help Center you want to manage.

If no categories exist yet, the page shows a Create category button.
Create a category
Click Create category. Enter a Name and a Description. The description helps visitors understand what the category covers.

Click Create. The category appears in the left sidebar.

Create an article
Select the category and click Create article (or Create first article if the category is empty).

Click Publish to make the article visible to visitors. You can also click Save as draft to keep working on it later.
