Help Center and Guide are tested with the browsers listed below. Older browsers can still be used, but newer features may not look or work as intended. We recommend that you always use the current version of a browser. Most browsers provide an option for automatic updates.
JavaScript must be enabled in your browser to allow for full use of the Help Center. For example, without JavaScript, certain parts of the Help Center, including drop-down lists on ticket forms, don't work correctly.
There are two categories of pages: end-user pages and admin pages. End-user pages are what your customers see in Help Center. Admin pages are what Guide Managers and select agents see in Guide.
For Zendesk Support, see Zendesk Support system requirements.
For end-user and admin pages, these browsers are supported on desktop:
- Google Chrome: latest two versions
- Mozilla Firefox: latest two versions
- Apple Safari: latest two versions
- Microsoft Internet Explorer: latest version only
Microsoft Edge is not supported by Zendesk, but reportedly works well for customers.
For end-user pages only, these browsers are supported on mobile:
- iOS 9 and higher
- Chrome Mobile for Android: latest version

Hey Zendesk - we recently received a communication stating that IE would no longer be supported on any of Zendesks products from June 19.
I can see the Support user-guide has an explicit note about this (https://support.zendesk.com/hc/en-us/articles/203661786-Zendesk-Support-system-requirements) but this one doesn't.
Can you confirm if it applies to Help Centre and Guide too?
Thanks :)
I have the exact same question as Mark.
But also, I would like to say, "Please please pleeease drop IE support everywhere!"
Hi Mark and Dru, The ending of support for the Explorer browser is specific to the agent interface. Users shouldn't have any issue accessing the help center.
In the larger picture, it's worth noting that Microsoft has stopped supporting Internet Explorer, so that applications use and support across the web will likely decrease.
