# Support Center

***

## 1. Feature Overview

The Support Center allows users to create a central help portal where they can upload articles related to their products or services. It helps deliver information to customers quickly without requiring a chatbot or live agent.

This feature is especially useful for:

* Frequently asked questions (FAQs)
* Simple troubleshooting guides
* Common customer issues

## 2. How to Access the Feature

The Support Center works at the **bot level**, so each bot has its own independent help center.

To access:

1. Log in with your Google account or an existing account.
2. Go to the **Bots (1)** module.
3. Select any bot.
4. Navigate to **Support Center (Operation) (2)**.
5. The Support Center interface will appear.

## 3. Structure and Hierarchy

* **Topics** are the highest level.
* Each Topic can contain multiple **Folders** and **Articles**.

## 4. How It Works

### 4.4 Inside a Topic

When entering a Topic, you will see its sub-folders and articles.

> **Note**: Publishing a Topic does **not** automatically publish its folders or articles—you need to publish each one individually.
