Want to start a new blank article in the same place? That's what the Create a Similar Article button does: it starts a new, empty draft that shares the original's place in your Knowledge Base. It's the quickest way to add the next article in a series without picking the category and author again.
How to Create a Similar Article
- Open an article in the editor
- Click the β― More button in the top right
- Pick Create similar article or Duplicate article
The new article opens straight away in the editor.
If you have unsaved changes, the option reads as Save and create similar. Your current article is saved first. If the save doesn't go through, no new article is made.
Create similar vs Duplicate: Create similar article gives you a blank draft in the same category with the same author. Duplicate article makes a full copy of the original, including its content, tags and settings. Need the full story on copying? Check out Duplicating an Article.
