# Help center

> Write and publish articles as a public help site. Published articles are also indexed so Thea can cite them in Discord.

The help center is a public site you author in the dashboard. It is not an automatic dump of every crawled page. When you publish an article, visitors can search it on the web, and Thea indexes it as a knowledge source for Discord answers.

Open **Help Center** in the server sidebar to create the center and edit articles. Branding and domain live under **Settings → Help center**.

## What you get

* **Articles** with draft, published, and archived states
* **Collections** for grouping (Getting started, Billing, Troubleshooting)
* **Search** across published articles
* **Helpful / not helpful** votes on articles
* A Thea-hosted URL, plus a [custom domain](/help-center/custom-domain) on Pro and Business

## Plan limits

| Plan     | Articles (drafts count) | Custom domain |
| -------- | ----------------------- | ------------- |
| Free     | 10                      | —             |
| Pro      | 500                     | Yes           |
| Business | 5,000                   | Yes           |

## Create and publish

<Steps>
  <Step title="Create the center">
    Open **Help Center**. If none exists, create one.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Write an article">
    Draft the page, assign a collection, and publish when it is ready.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Set visibility">
    **Settings → Help center**: **Live** or **Hidden**, plus name, headline, accent color, logo, and footer text.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Share the URL">
    The public path is `/help/[center]` on theabot.com until you add a custom domain.
  </Step>
</Steps>

Published articles become a `help_center` knowledge source. Updating an article updates what Thea can cite after the next index.

<Note>
  Crawled docs sites and Notion pages stay on **Knowledge**. They do not automatically appear as help-center articles. Publish an article when you want a public page of your own.
