You can control readers from accessing specific content in your knowledge base using conditional content rules<\/a>. These rules can be applied to a lot of elements in your knowledge base – from a single sentence all the way up to an entire folder.<\/p>\n

For instance, you can make a help page in your knowledge base accessible only to readers who understand French, while hiding it from the rest of the world. Similarly, you can hide a piece of information in your knowledge base from being viewed on certain devices.
\n <\/p>\n

Let’s take an example<\/h3>\n

 
\nWe know that there are tons of things you can put conditions on. In this example, we are going to put conditions on some content blocks on the page of a knowledge base.
\n 
\n\"\"
\n 
\nHere’s what we want:
\n 
\n1) Desktop view – We want to show all the 3 content blocks.
\n2) Mobile view – We want to show only 2 content blocks
\n3) Tablet view – \u00a0We want to show just 1 content block.
\n 
\nHere’s how it will look, once we set-up the conditional rules for different devices<\/a>:
\n <\/p>\n

Desktop view – for this we don’t have to set-up conditions as we are showing all 3 content blocks<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Mobile view – only 2 content blocks are shown \u00a0<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\u00a0Tablet view – only 1 content block is shown\u00a0<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

 
\n\"\"<\/p>\n

View conditional rules for devices<\/a><\/h4>\n

 
\nSimilarly, you can explore many other conditional rules in your knowledge base; to:
\n 
\nShow different content when your online manual<\/a> is viewed as a PDF<\/strong> – You can set conditions for media output<\/a> to prevent readers from viewing a certain page or folder in your manual, when they export it as a PDF.
\n 
\nGrant selective access to content based on the role of users<\/strong> – You can enable user group conditional rule<\/a> to restrict users from accessing a folder or page based on whether they are an administrator, editor or contributor for your knowledge base.
\n 
\nKeep your content relevant to multilingual readers<\/strong> – You can select the site language conditional rule<\/a> to hide certain topics from readers, who are viewing your knowledge base in a specific language such as Spanish, French, Dutch etc.
\n <\/p>\n
