Please give a quick overview of your product feature request or feedback and note who in your org is affected by this issue [ex. agents, admins, customers, etc.]. 

It would be helpful if there was a way we could see which Help Center Articles are linked to and from other Help Center Articles. We are rebuilding our knowledge base and at times we have to archive an article and replace it with a new one which breaks links. If there was a way to know where the article was linked in other Help Center Articles, we could prevent that from happening.

 

What problem do you see this solving?

Preventing broken article links, keeping accurate information, improving customer experience.

 

When was the last time you were affected by this lack of functionality, or specific tool? What happened? How often does this problem occur and how does this impact your business? (3-4 sentences)

This happens on a daily basis as we rebuild our knowledge base and can continue to happen on a daily basis once our knowledge base is fully built out.

 

Are you currently using a workaround to solve this problem?

No, if someone notices a broken link, they need to report it so we can fix it. This only solves the issue for the single article, not all that the article is linked to/from.

 

What would be your ideal solution to this problem? How would it work or function? 

Ideally, if we can go into an article and see all the other articles it is linked to and from. Then we can click those links to open the articles and make updates.

Hi @jessie11 - this is something we also struggle with, one tool we've found to be somewhat useful though is Swifteq https://www.zendesk.com/marketplace/apps/support/792311/help-center-manager/ so may be worth checking out for your team to use in the meantime. 

 

Completely agree though that it would be a better experience if this were built into the article editor natively rather than having to rely on people reporting broken links or using a third party app.

In 2026, we have a robust agenda for the Knowledge copilot product which serves recommendations for knowledge teams where they can improve their knowledge base. As part of this roadmap, many AI audit capabilities planned to be delivered, including the detection of broken URLs. 
Per our Community Guidelines, we can provide general guidance for anticipated feature and functionality release dates, and any discussion of planning is always subject to change. To stay on top of product releases please visit our What’s New page in the Help Center. We are going to leave this post open for comment to allow others to provide their feedback and use cases.
