Why is feedback important for knowledge base articles?
The most valuable resource for any knowledge base is its articles, and the article feedback plugin of PHPKB software lets you get valuable feedback from your readers via a simple question: “Was this article helpful?”. The feedback received will help you make the important decisions to steer your customer support efforts in the right direction. Feedback helps to improve the knowledge documents and attune the contents towards a target audience.
