The Article Redirect feature allows you to choose target articles and redirect users to them!
Some practical examples you can use Article Redirects to:
- Set up a URL pattern so Helpjuice redirects/migrates your old knowledge base to Helpjuice. E.g.: yourKB.helpjuice.com/hc/article-1-2-3 can now redirect to yourkb.helpjuice.com/article-1-2-3. (More details)
- Shorten a URL you commonly use. For example, if you want yourkb.helpjuice.com/phone to go to yourcompany.com/contact-us. Great for call center reps to easily share URLs via phone. (More Details)
