Publishing on Stack Exchange
Updated
Stack Exchange is a large and much trusted online community consisting of 170+ Q&A websites on topics in diverse domains. Each site covers a specific topic, where questions, answers, and users are subject to a reputation award process. The reputation system allows the sites to be self-moderating. This article shows you how you can publish questions, answers, and comments on Stack Exchange.
Note: Sprinklr now supports publishing markdown formatted text, allowing users to create content in the format that Stack Exchange permits. This is available for Question, Answer and Comment as well.
Note: This capability needs specific setup. Get in touch with your Success Manager to get this capability enabled in your environment.
