FAQ: Knowledge Base

A knowledge base CMS is a content management system for writing, approving, and publishing help articles, FAQs, and documentation. dotCMS is a compliance-led CMS: knowledge base articles are structured content types, every save is kept in version history, publishing can require workflow approval, and articles reach any website, app, or support tool through REST and GraphQL APIs.

Yes. Developers build AI search and chat on the dotAI APIs. Visitors ask questions in natural language, dotAI answers from the content types you choose to index, and each response returns the matching articles so your site can link to the sources.

Yes. dotCMS stores each article once and delivers it through REST and GraphQL APIs to any front end you connect, so every connected channel shows the same published version.

dotCMS can require approval before an article publishes. With 'Four Eyes' approval, you name the reviewers and set how many of them must approve. Every save creates a new entry in version history, so editors can review earlier versions and restore one if needed.

dotAI works with OpenAI, Azure OpenAI, Google AI, Google Vertex AI, Amazon Bedrock, Anthropic, and OpenRouter. Chat, embeddings, and image generation are configured separately, so each can use a different provider, including one your IT team has already approved. dotCMS is certified to ISO/IEC 42001, the international standard for AI management systems.

Yes. dotCMS imports content from CSV files into the content type you choose, including multilingual content. Each CSV column must match a field's format, so mapping your existing articles to a content type comes first.
