HELP CONTENT · Workflow idea

Turn unanswered questions into useful guidance people can trust.

For a support team preparing a knowledge base, draft answers to unanswered questions and update the FAQ entry for publication. Base every claim on current approved information, protect customer or internal details that do not belong in a public article, identify gaps rather than guessing, and require a subject-matter owner to verify the answer before automatic publication is enabled.

The handoff

An FAQ entry with a drafted answer and publication status for an owner to verify.

Keep in mind

An unverified answer can misstate policy or expose information intended for staff only. Keep automatic publication disabled until a qualified reviewer can check sources, remove private details, and approve the final article.

04 / Make it yours

Set the brief.
Set the standard.

A few choices shape the work around your team.

Maintain approved answer sources

Assign owners and review dates, and remove obsolete guidance.

Keep draft and published states separate

Prevent unreviewed answers from appearing in a public help center.

Set privacy and uncertainty rules

Exclude personal records and require an explicit “needs review” outcome when evidence is missing.

Require subject-matter approval

Check policy, accuracy, and audience before publishing any answer.
