Access and Use Knowledge Base Articles in Zoho Desk's Android App

A help center is a self-help and learning platform built by the company, service,
or a business provider for its customers. It empowers the customers to resolve
their inquiries by referring to the knowledge base resources. These articles provide solutions to common issues and updates about new features, helping users quickly resolve problems without needing to contact support. 
The knowledge base in the Zoho Desk Android app allows users to view the help center articles directly within the mobile application. This mobile access speeds up the support process by making relevant information readily available on the go.
For example, a field technician troubleshooting a hardware installation can quickly search through the knowledge base on the Zoho Desk app to find the relevant setup guide, reducing resolution time while on site with the customer.

Agents can use the knowledge base module in the mobile app to:
  1. View detail article information including the comments, attachments, and feedback. They can also reply to comments or close feedback, depending on the user permission. 
  2. Publish the drafts they have created 
  3. Delete articles they have created 
  4. Translate and view the articles in the supported languages
  5. Create tickets from the feedbacks to track any issue raised 

Within each category, by tapping on Sections, agents can change the sections and subsections to view the list of articles under it.
