You can use FAQ articles as shared saved replies — answer templates to standard visitors’ questions that can be shared with all operators.
Adding shared saved replies
To add a shared saved reply, do the following:
- Create a section in your FAQ and turn on the “Private” setting so that all the articles from this section are visible only to your operators.

Please note: If the “Private” setting is off, you can still use the articles as shared saved replies, but they will also be available to your visitors on your FAQ portal.
