Use this route to publish a draft article into the live knowledge graph.

</ParamField>

## Path parameters

<ParamField path="id" type="string" required>

## Body parameters

This route uses the same required content fields as [Create article](/en/api-reference/create-article). `active`, `public`, and `origin` are also accepted here.

## Response

Returns the live article that remains after publish. See [Manage knowledge](/en/api-reference/manage-knowledge) for the shared article fields.
