Select a Best Answer for a Question in Chatter

One of the advantages of asking a question in Chatter is that users can select the best answer. When a question has a best answer, users can quickly resolve an issue by going directly to the best answer.

Required Editions

Available in: both Salesforce Classic and Lightning Experience
Chatter Questions is available in: Essentials, Group, Professional, Developer, Performance, Enterprise, Contact Manager, and Unlimited Editions

Moderators and the person who asked the question can:

  • Select the best answer for a question
  • Remove the best answer status from an answer

Only one answer can be selected as the best answer. Moderators can be the Chatter moderator, the Experience Cloud site moderator, or the Salesforce administrator. If a user doesn’t have permission to select the best answer for a question, they don’t see the Select as Best option.

When an answer is selected as a best answer, a check mark (Best answer check mark) appears next to it. A copy of the best answer also appears at the top of the list of answers so other users can quickly spot it.
