The problem
What IT teams deal with that shouldn't be tickets
IT teams lose time to constant interruptions. Not because the answers are hard—because they're hard to find.
Troubleshooting guides live in individuals' heads
When the person who knows a fix isn't available, the whole team waits. Documentation changes that.
New hires don't know where anything lives
Without a single reference point, every new employee needs a dedicated guide from someone on the team.

IT knowledge base FAQs
Common questions from IT teams setting up internal documentation.
Can the knowledge base be kept private?
Yes. You can create a private, invite-only, or password-protected knowledge base so content stays inside the organization.
Do we need IT to set this up?
No. HelpSite is designed so non-technical teams can configure and manage everything—no developer needed.
How do we keep troubleshooting guides current?
Assign ownership to each article so someone is responsible. Version history tracks every edit, and search analytics surface what employees are looking for.
Can we also have a public help center for external users?
Yes. Run a public customer-facing help center and a private internal site from the same account.
Can we import our existing docs?
Yes. You can bring in existing documentation to migrate faster instead of starting from scratch.
