Homepage
We provide a template layout for your homepage that pulls your top-level categories and creates some automatic article lists.
Add your own custom content into your homepage by going to Customize > Homepage.
More changes can also be made in Customize > Style (HTML & CSS) in the Custom HTML for the Homepage.
For more information on adjusting your homepage, refer to Homepage look and feel.
Style customizations
The Customize > Style (HTML & CSS) 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.
