💡
Note: It is important that all your pages are set to public. Notion automatically does this for all your pages once you set it up with the root page. There is nothing extra for you to do, just keep this in mind.
 

Changing your Notion knowledge base

In Notion:

Follow the same steps as above for your new Notion page.

In Dashboard:

  1. Navigate to Settings
  1. Click on General
  1. Toggle the 🔒 Edit button
  1. Paste your new Notion page url and wait for verification
  1. Hit the Save button

Can I use the template without “Share to web”

You are probably asking that question because you don't want to enable external users to see your Notion shared knowledge base. First of all, no worries. Notion generates a very long and random url for your site and it is practically impossible for users to accidentially stumble on it. We recommend to leave the Search engine indexing ticked off so that it gets not listed on search engines such as Google or Bing.

 
Leave all the fields unchecked except the “Share to web” one

In the future HelpKit will be integrated more deeply with Notion so that we don’t have to use this approach anymore.

 
 
 
Don't forget to sync your knowledge base

In order to serve your customers the fastest knowledge base on earth 🌍 we cache most of the Notion data. This means that you have to press the 🔁 Sync now button in your admin dashboard whenever you change the structure of your knowledge base.
