Why each option
A knowledge article must be in the 'Published' state to be visible and accessible to users in the ServiceNow knowledge base.
A knowledge article must be in the 'Published' state for it to be visible, searchable, and accessible to end-users through the Service Portal or Knowledge Base module. This state indicates that the article has completed its authoring and review process and is ready for public consumption.
An article in the 'Drafted' state is still under creation and is not yet visible to end-users.
An article in the 'Retired' state is no longer active and is specifically hidden from users.
'Reviewed' is typically a step in the article's workflow, indicating it has been reviewed but not necessarily published and made available to users.
