Hi fellow GURU-Champs, As we are expanding our company overseas, we are setting up all our systems for the multi-national setup.  Following context / situation I am trying to sort out: We are setting up our US Business Unit at the moment, global hub sits within the EU We will be able to have a data exchange between Germany and the US BU And we’d like to use one central GURU platform We’ve set up the GURU collections based on functional teams (which will collaborate within the matrix)   Questions I’d like to find an answer for: Do you have best practices for the collection setup for different Business Units? Our current structure mirrors the functional team setups. However, the team setup itself in the US will be different to the EU team, and therefore, a 1:1 integration seems not to be the perfect go-to-solution. What are your reco

It’s very frustrating to have lowercase “i” show up as very similar to uppercase “i” and lowercase “L”.  Is there a way to change the default font in Guru?  See screenshot for an example. 

Hey y'all! Anyone have fun examples for a "Meet the Team" section?

Hey everyone! Caroline from Technical Support here 👋 I wanted to pop in here and follow up on a post from a few weeks back about how to embed files into Guru Cards.  To zoom out a bit, we often get questions about when and when not to embed files into Cards and I thought it may be helpful to share more about how we think about this internally at Guru! We recommend embedding (or linking to) an external file:  If it is written in long-form content (think, a research document)  If it is a specific-use program that has specific editing capabilities for that asset (think, a Google Sheet)  A great example of this is the Project Summary Cards that our team creates to detail an ongoing project for internal stakeholders.

I’m not able to find any resource on this but is there any way to continue your numbered bullet points after inputting a iframe or other piece of content within a Guru card?I am trying to do:1.2.3.[iframe piece]4.I am currently unable to figure it out but wondering if it’s not possible and I just need to manually format the numbered bullets myself.

Hi everyone! 👋On the Support team, we often hear customers asking how you can move Cards between Collections, whether you're trying to re-structure your Guru environment or have a single Card you want to live in a different Collection.🚨Before you follow these steps, ensure that you have Author access to the Collection that the Card lives in and the Collection that you're moving the Card to. You can double check your Collection permissions from the Collections page in Team Settings! 🚨In order to move a Card between Collections, first navigate to the Card Manager.

Hey everyone 👋🏻How do you capture customer and internal feedback to help improve your Help Center?At Guru, I work with our Technical Support Team to manage and update all of our Help Center documentation.

Hey everyone! Is your team using Guru across teams or company-wide? If so, what challenges have you come up against as you build engagement? What tips and tricks would you share for using Guru across teams or the entire company?Sometimes when folks roll out Guru company-wide, it takes some intentional change management to make sure all teams see how Guru can benefit them within their workflows.

With the holiday season is soon approaching, we wanted to share some Out of Offices best practices.

How can have a list/report of card by a creator? 

I'm curious how folks solicit feedback about Guru from your teams, particularly after rolling out (e.g., on content organization, collections/boards you've set up, card templates, etc.). Have you sent out a survey, held a debrief meeting, created a Slack/Teams channel for feedback, all of the above? Any examples or templates you can share?

We have many procedural GURU cards that need to reference documents on our server that change frequently.For example, we have a GURU card on file retention that has data that does not change, then we have a Master List of the file names that changes often.I tried using the paperclip attach feature, but that attaches a static copy of the document. Even is you open the attached file and make changes, it does not save the changes. I can’t use the link feature since the documents are on a local server instead of on the WWW.Any suggestions?

I am in my trial period and I’m trying to view a PDF that was uploaded. I can view it in my web browser, but when i try to use the mobile app, i get a google error (I’m using google to login to the Guru system). It says 403: disallowed_useragent and that i can’t log in because the app doesn’t comply with Google’s embedded webview policy. Anyone else have this issue or know how to solve? mobile access is a big part of my strategy for rolling this out to our team.

Is there a way to see in the Analytics tab how many cards were created updated archivedIn the last [timeframe]? I sort of hacked it together in the Card Manager for the last 30 days but I can’t see a way to know how the last 30 days compares to 3 months ago, nor account for cards getting archived/deleted. Am I missing this somewhere?

Hey everyone 👋🏻Let’s talk about search. How do you increase the likelihood your teams can find the right content when searching in Guru?I know that some of our successful customers take a two-pronged approach to improving search results: Use best practices when creating or updating content to make it surface in appropriate search results Teach your teams how to use search filters and favorite cards to narrow down to the content they need Incorporating both tactics is a great strategy, especially when you have a ton of content and your reps are looking for that one piece of information they need at

I used the Answer with Card action in Slack and instead of posting in a thread on the message, it made a HUGE reply in the main channel, reposting the entire message and the card as well. I can’t delete it either.  Is this a Slack issue or a problem with the Guru actions? I use Answer with Card a lot and haven’t had this happen since the first or second time I tried it months ago.   

Though we’re practicing creating more concise cards, we’re still faced with some content that require a lengthier write up -- particularly cards detailing processes or instructions on how to complete a task. Adding screenshots add the the length of the cards. Has anyone found any tips on shortening instructional cards or ways to format imaging to help reduce card length (e.g., ability to show/hide images, specific info types can be on separate card, etc)?
