# Working with articles on the Customer Service portal

> [HTML Version](customer-service-articles.html)

Articles are displayed on the [portal’s](customer-portal.md) home page and on the [Knowledge Base page](https://elma365.com/ru/help/service/customer-portal.html#kb), accessible from the left navigation menu of the portal.

Here you can read an article, add it to your favorites, send it for approval or information, and leave feedback. To work with an article, open its page by clicking on the article title.

## Article page

The article page consists of three tabs: [Article](#article), [Information](#info), and [Versions](#versions). The **Information** and **Versions** tabs are only available to BRIX users with access permissions to the **Customer Service** solution.

### Article tab

The **Related items** section shows the service and category that the article is related to, as well as the date of the last change.

The **Description** section displays the text of the article.

You can rate an article using the **(clip0112.png) **buttons. When you click on the **(star-icon.png) **icon, the article is added to your favorites. You can access your list of favorite articles from the external portal page or from the **Knowledge Base** page. The total number of views is shown in the lower right corner.

### Information tab

This tab displays a note about the publication of the article on the external portal, approval sheets and lists of informed users, the article activity stream, and associated tasks.

### Versions tab

When someone edits an article, a new version is created. All versions are available on the article page, so you can see the author of the version, its status, and the change date.
