Why do I see an "API-managed article" banner in my article settings?

Question

I see an API-managed article flag when I review the article settings in Knowledge. Where does this notification come from?

Answer

This banner appears at the top of articles generated by an API when you open them in edit mode.

The purpose of this messaging is to highlight the risks of editing and/or saving the article in the article editor. Specifically, the banner notifies you that any content you edit locally in the article will be overwritten the next time article content is updated through the API.
