"Did this topic help you find an answer to your question?" - what is the purpose of this feature?

Hi!

As we’re preparing to launch our community we were wondering if the topic helpfulness feature is necessary to have. I’ve found this topic related to this feature: Topic helpfulness: now previewing on inSpired | Gainsight Community but I was wondering if it has any other impact than in GA? . Our community is a private one, so no need to boost our SEO. Happy to hear your thoughts on this :)

    So ‘enable’ is the same as ‘use default’ in this case?

    No.

    If visibility of Content Helpfulness score is disabled from Control → Settings → Content Helpfulness, it is disabled from everywhere = Your default setting.

    But you can set it on only for the certain content and then choose “Enable” when the content is open in Control:

    This is how I understand this:

    When a answer to a question gets marked as “best answer” it really only show value for the person who initially asked this question. But what about those who later on have a similar issue/question and land on this Q&A and find value through the existing exchange?

    These people can then mark that they found the Q&A helpful for their use-case.

     

    So in a way this can measure a solution re-use.

    In theory, you can create better content in the future, if you get sad faces. And vice versa.

    Thank you both! So the values only appear for the author of the post, correct?

    No, I believe the results are only accessible via the admin interface.

    You can see the results only from the Control so you have to be admin or moderator or so.

    EDIT: Also, you can enable this. It can be seen above the emojis.

    I see! And if I enable this setting below, where should I see the changes? Apologies for all basic questions, we’re still very new to this platform.

    Changes, or do you mean results?

    General stats: Control → Home → Content

     

    Content level: Control → Analytics → Content and scroll down to see Content helpfulness score
