Help Center Configuration

Domain, branding, and content settings

Configure how your Help Center looks and where it lives.

Domain Settings

Custom Subdomain

By default, your Help Center uses a subdomain like help.yourcompany.com or a Goldilocks-hosted URL.

To use a custom subdomain:

  1. Go to My Help Center > Configuration
  2. Under Domain, enter your subdomain
  3. Add the CNAME record at your DNS provider
  4. Verify when propagation completes

Custom Domain

Use your own domain (e.g., support.yourcompany.com):

  1. Add your domain in Configuration
  2. Follow DNS setup instructions
  3. SSL is automatic once verified

Branding

Customize your Help Center appearance:

SettingDescription
LogoUpload your company logo
FaviconBrowser tab icon
ColorsPrimary and accent colors
Help Center TitleSite title (e.g., "Acme Help Center")

Changes apply immediately to the live site.

Content Templates

Set default templates for new articles:

  • Choose how-to, concept, or troubleshooting as default
  • Customize template structure for your style

Add a link to your support contact (email, form, or chat):

  • Appears in article footer and navigation
  • Directs users when they need human help

Best Practices

  • Use consistent branding with your main site
  • Keep the Help Center title short and recognizable
  • Ensure contact link works (test regularly)
