There are a number of ways you can adjust your knowledge base's look and feel so that it "fits" you. Most of these changes can be found in one of four places:
Settings > Basic
The Settings > Basic page controls a lot of knowledge base-wide settings, including:
- Time zone
- Date/time format
- Default language
- Links and default behavior in your table of contents
- New/updated callout duration
Style Settings controls
The easiest look and feel changes can be made using the controls in the lefthand menu of the Settings > Style page.
Here, you can:
- Change your color palette
- Change your fonts
- Add a logo image or icon
- Change the theme
- Change the layout
See Setting your overall theme for more information.
Homepage
We provide a template layout for your homepage that pulls your top-level categories and creates some automatic article lists. You can add your own custom content into your homepage by going to Homepage in the upper left navigation. (More changes can be made in Settings > Style in the Custom HTML for the Homepage).
For more information on working with this page, see Homepage look and feel.
Style Settings customizations
The Settings > Style page also offers two sections where you can get a lot more detailed in your customizations:
- The Custom CSS section allows you to add CSS styles to style your knowledge base
- The Custom HTML templates let you change the template layouts we use to generate pages in your knowledge base.
We provide examples of common Custom CSS and Custom HTML tweaks in the Look and feel subcategories, so if you've never worked with CSS before, don't be afraid! Take a look through some of the customizations and see what would be a good fit for you.
