-

- Drag it over to the target column.
- Release the article to drop it into the new column.

This action is quick and allows you to easily move articles as they progress through different stages of development.
Actions Performed When Moving Articles
When you move an article between columns, specific actions are triggered depending on the destination column. Here’s a breakdown of what happens:
Converting Article Requests to Draft Articles
Moving a request from the Article Requests column to the Draft Articles column will automatically convert the request into a draft article.

Submitting Articles for Review
Moving an article from either the Draft Articles or Published Articles column to the Articles In Review column will display the article in the To Review section. For more information on how the review process works, see Article Review Process.
Publishing Articles
When you move an article from the Draft Articles or Articles In Review columns to the Published Articles column, it will be published, making it available to your Knowledge Base users. For details on how to set the proper accessibility, see Overview: Accessibility.
Unpublishing Articles
Moving an article from the Published Articles column to the Draft Articles column will unpublish the article, removing it from the live site.
Who Can Move Articles
Previously, only Draft Writers could send articles to review. Now, any role in your knowledge base can move articles to the Articles in Review column, making the workflow more flexible.
Best Practices
- Move articles to review as soon as content is ready for evaluation.
- Ensure reviewers know which articles are in the review queue.
- Use clear naming conventions for drafts to avoid confusion.
- Monitor the review column regularly to keep content moving efficiently.
