| 5 | +Managing articles effectively is key to maximizing the value of your knowledge resources, whether |
| 6 | +working on a research project, studying for an exam, or building a knowledge database for your |
| 7 | +business. Knowledge allows you to fully manage your articles, from |
| 8 | +:ref:`creation <management/create>` to :ref:`removal <management/remove>`, through :ref:`sharing |
| 9 | +<management/share>` and :ref:`structure <management/structure>`. |
| 10 | + |
| 11 | +You can find most tools to manage articles by clicking the vertical ellipsis button (:guilabel:`⋮`) |
| 12 | +at the right side of the top bar. From there, you can move, lock, delete, or duplicate an article. |

| 33 | +Sharing |
| 34 | +------- |
| 35 | + |
| 36 | +You can share articles with internal or external users. To do so, open the share menu by clicking |
| 37 | +:guilabel:`Share` in the top-right menu of articles. |

| 43 | +:guilabel:`Invite`. This opens a pop-up window in which you can choose the :guilabel:`Permission` |
| 44 | +:ref:`(i.e, access rights) <management/categories>` and enter the :guilabel:`Recipients`' name or |
| 45 | +email. |

| 66 | + |
| 67 | +Removal |
| 68 | +------- |

| 82 | +.. _management/structure: |
| 83 | + |
| 84 | +Structure of articles |
| 85 | +===================== |
| 86 | + |
| 87 | +Articles are organized into a hierarchical structure wherein the article on top is a parent article, |
| 88 | +and those underneath are called nested articles. This structure allows the grouping of related |
| 89 | +articles. |
| 90 | + |
| 91 | +To establish this hierarchy, create new articles by clicking the :guilabel:`+` button next to the |
| 92 | +parent-to-be article, or move existing articles by either dragging and dropping them under the |
| 93 | +parent-to-be or by clicking the vertical ellipsis button (:guilabel:`⋮`), clicking :guilabel:`Move |
| 94 | +To` on the toolbox and selecting the article to use as a parent. |
| 95 | + |
| 96 | +.. _management/categories: |
| 97 | + |
| 98 | +Categories |
| 99 | +---------- |
| 100 | + |
| 101 | +Additionally, articles are divided into four categories that can be found on the left sidebar. These |
| 102 | +categories give articles default **access rights**. |
| 103 | + |
| 104 | +- :guilabel:`Favorites`: You can set any article you can access as a favorite. To do so, click the |
| 105 | + star-shaped icon (:guilabel:`★`) in the top-right menu of articles. Marking articles as |
| 106 | + **favorites** is user-specific and does not affect other users. |
| 107 | +- :guilabel:`Workspace`: Articles displayed in that category are available to all internal users. |
| 108 | + These users have the right to read, modify or share these articles. |
| 109 | +- :guilabel:`Shared`: Articles displayed in that category are those you shared with internal users, |
| 110 | + external users, or shared with you. |
| 111 | +- :guilabel:`Private`: Articles displayed in that category are only available to you. |
