Access to the header via Custom Head

If you're looking to add any integrations or tweak your knowledge base's favicon, Custom <head> is a powerful tool to help you customize your knowledge base.

You can access it using these steps:

  1. Go to Settings > Style.
  2. Below the preview pane, select Custom <head>.
  3. You can paste in any scripts, stylesheets, font files, etc., that may need to be loaded in your knowledge base.
  4. Be sure to Save your changes.

Here are some of the reasons you might need to use your Custom <head>:

Use your own custom favicon

See Change your favicon for full instructions on changing your knowledge base's favicon!


Script or stylesheet references

Some customizations require adding a script and/or a CSS stylesheet for the integration to work properly; these can be added directly into the Custom <head>. For example, adding an external syntax highlighter requires you to add both a .js script and a .css stylesheet.

If your organization already has stylesheets that you'd like to reference here, you can also load them straight into the Custom <head>.

Third-party analytics/tracking tools

Third-party analytics tools like Google Analytics and Plausible or heat map tools like Hotjar typically require a script be added to the Custom <head>. Follow these tools' instructions on what script to add to your knowledge base and, if it needs to be added to the Custom <head>, you have the power to do that!
