Knowledge Base Article Feedback

The was-this-helpful form, upgraded to produce fixable answers.

4 questions · 1 page · about 2 minutes to answer · fully editable after you start

The binary was-this-helpful widget collects shrugs. This upgraded article feedback asks what the reader was trying to do, whether the article got them there, and precisely where it lost them – outdated steps, missing case, unclear wording – producing edits instead of sentiment.

Embed the link at the bottom of every article with the article name pre-filled in the collector name. Monthly triage of the answers keeps the knowledge base a product rather than a graveyard.

Template preview

This is a picture of every question as a respondent would see it, so nothing on it can be clicked or typed into. Use this template to get your own editable copy.

Opens in the Dark theme, or in your own default theme if you have set one — change it anytime to any of the 4 built-in looks, or build your own on a paid plan.
