## Request body

- object

  - `overrideLinkOutUri` string — The URI for the article. If the knowledge base has a templateUri, setting this argument overrides it for this piece of content. To remove an existing <code>overrideLinkOurUri</code>, exclude this argument and set <code>removeOverrideLinkOutUri</code> to true.
  - `removeOverrideLinkOutUri` boolean — Unset the existing <code>overrideLinkOutUri</code> if it exists.
  - `revisionId` string — The <code>revisionId</code> of the content resource to update, taken from an earlier call to <code>GetContent</code>, <code>GetContentSummary</code>, <code>SearchContent</code>, or <code>ListContents</code>. If included, this argument acts as an optimistic lock to ensure content was not modified since it was last read. If it has been modified, this API throws a <code>PreconditionFailedException</code>.
  - `title` string — The title of the content.
  - `uploadId` string — A pointer to the uploaded asset. This value is returned by <a href="https://docs.aws.amazon.com/wisdom/latest/APIReference/API_StartContentUpload.html">StartContentUpload</a>.
