About subsections

You can create subsections (sections in sections), in your knowledge base to create more
levels in your content hierarchy. You can have a maximum of six levels using nested
sections: Category &gt; section &gt; section &gt; section &gt; section &gt; section. Each
section can have a maximum of 200 subsections in it.
Note: When you are in a parent section,
you'll see up to five article links in each subsection, and a link to any further articles
in that subsection.

You can put articles at any section level of the hierarchy, but articles cannot appear
under categories. Sections can contain sections or articles or both.
The following diagram shows a help center hierarchy with four levels, including three
section levels.




Adding a subsection to a section

You can add subsections (sections in sections), to your help center. You can nest sections
in sections for a maximum of five section levels. Each section can contain up to a maximum
of 200 subsections in a section.


Important: When you add subsections to your knowledge base, you might need to
modify the code for your Category page to display the subsections (see Displaying subsections in your help center).



To add a section in a section


In help center or Knowledge admin, click Add in the top
menu bar, then select Section.

Enter a Name and optional Description for your section.
Ensure the correct Source language is selected if you support multiple
languages.
Under Order articles by, select an option for how you'd like articles to appear
in this section. If you select to manually order of articles, see Manually changing the order of articles to
change the order of your articles.

Under Hierarchy, click in the field, then select the section where you'd like
this section to appear in your help center. Click the names of categories and sections
to drill down in the hierarchy and use the breadcrumbs to move back up in the
hierarchy.

If you have multiple section templates in your live theme,
click the Template menu, then select a template. If you do not select an
alternate template, the default section template will be applied.

Click Add. The section is created.
