    In the Knowledge API for guest session there's an option to expand described in the API Toolkit.

    GET /api/v2/knowledge/guest/sessions/{sessionId}/categories?expand=Ancestors

    But the "Ancestors" doesn't seem to anything.

    What is this parameter supposed to do? From the description I'm think it should include all "parents" of an category, but I get the same result with/without the parameter.

    I tested this with

    get /api/v2/knowledge/knowledgebases/{knowledgeBaseId}/categories

    and there I get the result I expected with "expand=Ancestors" so I guess it just doesn't work in the Guest Session API.

    Result in /api/v2/knowledge/guest/sessions/{sessionId}/categories?expand=Ancestors

            {
                "id": "ab20726e-bcdd-4697-8b63-48fc7fd14e79",

                    "id": "5e2758d0-1319-4844-8092-4dbecef98139"
                }
            }
