Keeping Knowledge Base articles up-to-date and error-free are crucial tasks for knowledge base editors. Here's how to edit an article:

Open the Editing page

Sign in to Mozilla Support, find an article you wish to edit and find Editing Tools on the top right side of the page.

Choose one of these methods to open the article's Editing page:

• To base your edit on the currently approved article revision, click Edit Article under Editing Tools.
• To base your edit on a previous revision or a pending, unreviewed revision, click Show History under Editing Tools and click the pencil icon next to the revision you wish to edit.

• To edit the content of an archived article, click Show History under Editing Tools, click the Revision date and click Edit article based on this revision.

Edit Content

To edit the content of an article:

1. Make your changes in the Content: text box of the Editing page.

   

2. Click Preview Content or Preview Changes at the bottom of the page, if you wish, then
3. Click Submit for Review.
4. In the Submit Your Changes dialog box that appears, describe your changes and click Submit.
   
5. Wait for a reviewer to approve your changes.

Keywords (reviewers only)

If you have permission to review articles, the Edit Content section will include a Keywords field for improving search results. See When and how to use keywords to improve an article's search ranking.

Edit Description (reviewers only)

If you have permission to review articles, use the Edit Article Metadata button under Editing Tools to open the Editing Description page.

This is where you can

• Change an article's title, slug, category, topics, Relevant to: product and related documents
• Archive an article (Obsolete: checkbox)
  Note: Archived articles do not have an Edit Article Metadata button under Editing Tools. To un-archive an article, open the Editing Description page by adding /edit/metadata to the end of the URL and then deselect the Obsolete: checkbox.
• Allow or disable article discussion (Allow discussion on this article? checkbox)
• Add or remove a Needs change: entry or comment

After making your changes, click Save description; otherwise, your changes will not be saved. After saving your Description edits, you can then make any needed edits to the article content.
