Markdown-first
Plain text, fast keyboard, no surprises
No WYSIWYG soup, no "why did the bullet list nest itself again?" Markdown gets out of your way and renders the same on screen as in the database.
Nexus Knowledge Base
BetaMarkdown-first authoring with live preview, a public help center at /help/your-workspace, and a per-article public/private toggle so your customer-facing FAQs and your internal SOPs share an editor — but never a reader.

Markdown-first — no WYSIWYG fight
Public help center, indexed by search engines
Public ↔ private, per article, no separate tool
Why it feels different
Which is exactly the wrong shape. Half your "internal" runbook is just the public answer with one extra paragraph. Half your help center is just the internal answer with the rough edges sanded off. Nexus Knowledge Base is one editor, one search, one publishing pipeline — with a single toggle that decides who can see each article.
The lifecycle
Articles move from a teammate's head to the public help center on a path you can trust — with the version history, draft state, and review step you'd expect from a content tool, not a wiki.
Markdown editor with live preview. @-mention teammates for review, paste in code blocks, drop in screenshots. Drafts are private to the workspace by default.
Mark "ready for review" — reviewers get a notification. Inline comments on a draft, resolve-as-thread when fixed. No "let me Slack you the suggested edit".
Toggle public, publish to /help/your-workspace/article-slug. SEO-clean URL, metadata pulled from the article frontmatter, redirect from older slugs handled automatically.
Articles have version history. Update once, see who edited what when. The customer always reads the latest; you can roll back if the latest broke something.
The good parts
Markdown-first
No WYSIWYG soup, no "why did the bullet list nest itself again?" Markdown gets out of your way and renders the same on screen as in the database.
Per-article toggle
Toggle "public" and the article appears at /help/your-slug; toggle off and only your workspace sees it. No separate "internal wiki" SaaS — the runbooks and the help center share an editor.
Public help center
Your help center renders at /help/your-workspace-slug with your logo, brand color, and SEO metadata. Static-rendered, indexed by Google, embedded in Helpdesk autoreply emails.
Search
Full-text + tag search across all articles you can see. Results respect public/private — internal teammates see internal articles; logged-out visitors only see public ones.
Categories
One level of categories: "Billing", "API", "Onboarding". Articles can belong to multiple. No 7-level nested folders that nobody can navigate.
Inline help
Pick an article from a slash menu while replying to a ticket — the agent sends a link, the customer reads the article, the same article anchors three more tickets next month.
Version history
Every save is a version. Compare two versions side-by-side, restore a previous version with one click. No "git knowledge required" but the safety is the same.
Code blocks
Fenced code blocks render with syntax highlighting and a "copy" button. The customer reading your "how do I authenticate" article can paste the example without selecting it character by character.
Embedded media
Drag a file into the editor — uploads through Nexus Files, renders in the article, served from the same domain. No "Loom not loading because of CORS".
Analytics
Per-article views, "was this helpful?" thumbs, search queries that returned no results. The articles your customers need but you don't have are right there in the report.
External help
Branded with your logo, accent color, and metadata. Server-rendered, indexed by search engines. Articles render with table of contents, copy-link headings, and "edit on Nexus" — for your team, not the customer.
Internal runbooks
Same editor, same search, same workspace — but only your team can see them. New-hire onboarding checklists, oncall runbooks, "how we deploy" — the things you don't want a 50-seat license for. They're free with the same workspace.
What you won't find
A knowledge base earns its keep by being a place people return to. Here's what we deliberately won't ship.
WYSIWYG sounds friendly until your bullet list nests itself for the fourth time. Markdown is the input, rendered Markdown is the output, the gap is zero.
You don't need it, your customer doesn't need it, your search certainly doesn't need it. One level of categories, plus tags, plus search. That's the whole API.
Editing is included with your workspace. We don't charge you a "writer license" on top of the seat you already pay for. Anyone with workspace access can author.
Articles are Markdown. Export them, import them, version them in your repo if you want. Your knowledge belongs to your workspace, not to our database.
Connected
A help article is just a ticket reply written before the question is asked. Nexus Knowledge Base sits next to Helpdesk, Team & HR, and your CRM — same workspace, same brand, same search.
