​

2. In the Knowledge Base builder, click the Options icon at the top and choose your preferred method of import. Select Import as CSV.

​

If your content exists in an unstructured format, like documents, PDFs, or Excel files, it's advisable to use this import method. You can easily copy the content from various sources into the import CSV file as text or HTML markup text with metadata like images, tables and attachments etc. When importing HTML content, any images included with public URLs will be automatically added to the Digital Asset Manager. After importing, you can use our feature-rich article editor, which supports various components like tables, tabs, and sections, to format the content as per your preferences. 

If importing as CSV, on the Asset Import pop-up window, upload the CSV file.

​

4. Once the import is completed, you will get a platform notification with a response file to download. The response file will contain the details on the errors (if any) detected during the import.
