Note Knowledge must already be set up in your org.

1. Add the Articles related list to work order and work order line item page layouts.
2. Let Lightning Experience users manage attached articles. In Lightning Experience, add the Knowledge component to your work order, work order line item, and work type detail page layouts.
3. Let users view and modify attached articles from the console. In the layout editor for work orders and work order line items, select **Custom Console Components** and add the Knowledge One widget to the console sidebar.
4. The Knowledge One console widget suggests articles to attach based on key fields. Select the fields that suggestions are based on. (The Knowledge Lightning component doesn’t offer article suggestions.)
    1. In Setup, enter Field Service in the Quick Find box, then select **Field Service Settings**.
    2. Select the fields that the search engine should scan to suggest relevant articles from your knowledge base.
    3. Save your changes.
5. Optionally, customize linked article page layouts, fields, validation rules, and more in Setup.
    
    - In Lightning Experience, navigate to Linked Article in the Object Manager.
    - In Salesforce Classic, navigate to the Linked Articles page under Knowledge.

Note Linked articles include the following limitations.

- Quick actions and global actions aren’t supported for linked articles.
- The Article widget and Feed Articles Tool aren’t available in the feed view.
- In Lightning Experience, clicking an article link in a feed item redirects you to the article page in Salesforce Classic. In the Salesforce mobile app, linked articles can’t be accessed from feed items.
- The Linked Work Types related list isn’t available on articles in any platform.
- The Knowledge One widget isn’t available on work types in the console. To manage linked articles on work types in the console, use the Articles related list.
- Linked articles are read-only in the Salesforce mobile app.
