Location context should survive a journey when it changes who serves the request. A reader who has not chosen a branch still needs access to general information without a forced location screen. For this knowledge article, the practical test is whether the article answers its question before asking the reader to contact anyone.
Does the journey preserve the intended location?
Start with a reader opening an article from a shared link. The location context check concerns the answer, supporting evidence and next useful question. Generic conclusions and repeated sales language can obscure useful advice. Anonymized examples should explain the lesson without inventing a separate client case.
General education should remain readable without a forced showroom choice. Local advice and expert inquiries can request the branch when needed.
Check it on this page
Open the guide through a shared deep link, read the answer without choosing a location, and follow its relevant next action.
- Open the route without a saved branch and repeat it after selecting a branch.
- Follow the next action and compare the selected location with the starting point.
- Verify that the visitor can change a mistaken selection without losing the useful question.
A guide should not turn a location choice into an access barrier
Knowledge Center planning and deep-link checks highlighted the need to let readers open an article without first choosing a showroom. A saved location was useful for a later contact action, but it should not determine whether general educational content could be read.
For this knowledge article, the check focuses on the answer, supporting evidence and next useful question. Keep direct article access neutral and offer a clear way to choose or change the branch when the reader asks for help.
Repair the source, then check the published result
Carry only supported, validated location values into the next step. Preserve a neutral route for unassigned readers and verify actual receiving-team routing only through an authorized delivery test.
Record the location context result for this destination, then repeat the customer route until the article answers its question before asking the reader to contact anyone. If the repair changed a shared component, compare another destination with different approved facts to detect unintended copying.
