Question 1

Can I change the "related questions" heading in FAQs?

Question 2

Can I change the "email this answer" description in FAQs?

You can change the text label next to the email an FAQ feature on an indiviual FAQ. This can be useful if you are using the FAQ part of Malcolm! to publish articles or other types of content rather than just answers to questions and the "email this answer" language no longer makes sense.

Question 7

Can I turn the spell checker in MyMalcolm off?

Accepted Answer

As you type content in the MyMalcolm FAQ markdown editor your text is automatically spell checked - words that are not recognised by the spell check are highlighted in red. To turn this feature off click the "x" symbol in the "Full answer" area of "Compose your question and answer"

Question 8

How do I set the time zone of my Instance?

Accepted Answer

You can choose the time zone your Malcolm! instance runs in MyMalcolm via Settings / Instance / General.

When you select times/dates in MyMalcolm eg for things like scheduled publishing these should reflect the time zone of the instance rather than your local time zone (which might be different). Similarly when you export data and receive email alerts from Malcolm! these will reflect the instance time zone.

Question 9

Can I turn off the "Email this Answer" / send by email functionality?

Accepted Answer

If you would like to turn off the ability for a user to have a particular FAQ emailed to them you can do this on a per FAQ basis via the Configure / General area of the FAQ in MyMalcolm:

https://malcolm-en-gb.s3.eu-west-1.amazonaws.com/instances/HwJyEPPI3q/resources/YodRL1xSiq/screenshot-my.malcolm.app-2019.10.17-20_14_58.png (Turn off Send by email on a single FAQ)

If you want to turn off this feature for all FAQ's in the instance you can do this globally via Settings / FAQs / General Settings:

Question 10

What are invisible tags and how do I use them?

Accepted Answer

Invisible tags are a useful way you can influence search results. Like normal tags they will contribute to search ranking of an FAQ, but they won't be shown on the front-end to your users. If you therefore want a particular phrase to return a particular FAQ but your content doesn't feature that phrase or is being out ranked by another FAQ invisible tags can help.

You can make current tags invisible or set up new invisible tags in MyMalcolm via FAQs / Tags:

You then apply tags as usual via the configure area of the individual FAQ:
