Installing the Knowledge Capture app

The Knowledge Capture app is installed by default with any Guide plan and Support Team, Professional, or Enterprise.

The app enables agents to:

• Search the Help Center without leaving the ticket
• Insert links to relevant Help Center articles in ticket comments
• (Guide Professional and Enterprise) Add inline feedback to existing articles that need updates
• (Guide Professional and Enterprise) Create new articles while answering tickets, using a pre-defined template

The Knowledge Capture app is available in the Zendesk Marketplace if it does not appear in your Support agent interface (see Opening the Knowledge Capture app) or you need to install it again for some reason.

You cannot install the Knowledge Capture app on Support Essential.
