In your day to day work you can come across questions and requests that can be easily resolved with pre-defined answers, be it policies, guidelines, or other articles.
Back allows you to save such answers upfront and then make use of them when resolving requests, both automatically and manually.
Creating answers
There are currently two distinct ways to create answers. Doing so from the knowledge overview is useful when you already know what content to create, or you have an external source to link to.
Saving answers from the request detail is, on the other hand, useful when you want to save information from a specific request, making it available to other experts as well.
In both cases, you can use different formatting options (bold, italics, ordered and unordered lists, and link), as well as upload file attachments.
