Manage translated articles using article status

 


For example, if you have made some important changes to the content in the primary language that needs to be reflected in the other language support articles, the best practice is to click on Mark other translations as outdated. This will directly change the status of all the other translated articles as outdated and it will show up with a red Outdated status under the Languages section of the article you are working on.



In case one of your agents has made the necessary changes to one of the translated articles (say French), they can mark the solution article as updated by clicking on Mark this translation as up-to-date


Note: By doing so, only the status of that particular article is changed while the rest of the translated articles continue to have their assigned status.
