Article Lists

KnowledgeOwl offers six article lists that you can use in your knowledge base to help readers find new, updated, popular, recently viewed, required, and relevant content. These lists are automatically generated. Four are added to your homepage or articles by default; the other three are optional lists you can choose to add!

To change the number of articles displayed in each list, see Article List Settings.
