If an agent edits and saves a solution article in the knowledge base its status jumps from “Published” to “Draft” immediately and disappears on the Requester Portal!

click edit:

 

Please change this behavior like it is for the Workflow Automators:

→ there is always the last version published still available for the requesters

→ if you click on publish the “old” published version will be replaced by the newest version

It seems like the function to actually be able to select what is published or not, as currently still should remain somehow, but additionally that function which you mentioned would be cool to have optionally!

Would love to see versioning enabled even it if it’s only current and previous versions.  If this was possible, it seems the previous version (e.g. last published) could remain active until the new draft was published.

This feature would be much needed for a professional solution article database. I was honestly surprised about it’s current behavior, most ticketing solutions of similar size have versioning for the knowledge database. So it would fix a flow of the otherwise great Freshservice.
