# Manage articles

> Create, update, publish, and delete individual Help Center articles.

Articles are the individual help pages in a Help Center. Each article belongs to one Help Center and optionally to one article group.

`contentHtml` is the article body as HTML. Plain renders this directly in the Help Center. `status` is either `DRAFT` (only visible in the Plain app) or `PUBLISHED` (visible on the Help Center).

## Create or update an article

`upsertHelpCenterArticle` creates a new article when no `helpCenterArticleId` is provided, or updates an existing article in place when one is. `slug` is normalized to lowercase.
