To find a question, first navigate to a Universe’s “Help” page. You can find the “Help” page through the front-end Side Navigation. If a Universe has the “Help” feature enabled, you will see “Help” in the Universe’s submenu. Click on “Help” to go to the “Help” page.

You can browse by clicking the “Browse All Questions” button or search for a question. Then, click on the question you want to edit or delete.

Questions that you have posted to the “Help” page can be found on your profile. First, open the user menu by clicking on your avatar in the navigation bar at the top of any page.

Select “Profile” from the menu. Below the header with your username and badges you will see a horizontal menu. Select “Contents” from the menu. This will open a submenu. 

Select “Questions” from the submenu. This will display all questions that you have created. Click on the question you would like to edit or delete.

Once on a question’s page, look to the right of the question title. Below the “Reply” button, you will see the question’s “Actions” menu. On the right-most side of the “Actions” menu is the “Edit” button. The “Edit” button looks like a square with a line through it.
