    Is there is there a way to modify the template so that agents can view the labels?

    How many sections can I add to a category? I notice that when I add a section within a section, Zendesk does not display the section titles within the sections, which is, to be frank, not useful. How can I show a list of sections within a section so that users know they're there?

    Hey @...,

    If your theme has been customized before the release of sub-sections, you might need to edit it to show sub-sections or switch to the latest version of the Copenhagen Theme. You can find more information here: https://support.zendesk.com/hc/en-us/articles/360021269734-Displaying-subsections-in-your-help-center

    Dear Zendesk team,

    I need a confirmation from your side regarding multi template.

    Currently, I am using 'Professional' package for help center.

    If I upgrade to enterprise, then is it possible to create a template with a check box and a combo box?

    I want to insert a widget that can be selected by the user into the body of the article.

    If possible, could you share the sample code?

    Hey Jeongah! There is no supported method to embed a third-party widget into an article. You might consider Allowing unsafe HTML in help center articles and customizing the source code to embed the widget within an iframe. We do not support the use of iframes within our product, so if you have further questions related to this, you'll need to rely upon our Help Center documentation and our Community.

    Dear Zendesk team,

    Thank you for the answer first.

    I thought I could add check boxes and combo boxes as customized templates, when I upgraded the package to the enterprise. Can I understand that HTML can do this, but it's not guaranteed?

    I have one additional question. If I upgrade to the enterprise, I understand that customized template is available, but what kind of customization is available?

    Hi Jeongah Seo,
     
    Yes, HTML can be used. However, there can be some risks on allowing unsafe HTML on your page.
     
    All the customization available is discussed in Creating custom pages in the help center.

    Hello Zendesk!

    Is it possible to create more than 10 section templates? Can this functionality be added to my account?

    Hi Breanne -
     
    Ten is the limit right now -- could you post your use case to our Feedback on Help Center (Guide) topic, using this template to format your feedback?

    Hello - happy to hear the template maximum has been extended to 100 instead of 10. On a related note, is there a way to be notified that articles we follow are updated?

    OK, I may be missing something...I created a new template, coded the way I want it to look, when I go to create a new article and change template drop down shouldn't it load the template that I made? it isn't making anything change on the new article

    Matt Simpson I'm not sure exactly when you expect the template to load.

    The new template should load when the page is being rendered to end users provided that the new article is published with the template configured from the dropdown as you describe. You can test that by 1) setting the template, 2)publishing the article (changes), 3) Clicking the link under "Publication status":

    If it does not render the article with the configured article template, you should contact our support.

    Hi Michelle,
     
    You can add a fresh copy of the default Copenhagen theme your Help Center.  This will allow you to retrieve any code related to comment submission that was been removed.

    Feedback: Low-code adoption: Enhance Templates so that coding is not necessary, but optional. 

    • Could be added to the "Add" button: Template
    • Could drafts be saved as templates and be part of List or Arranging

    This would enhance our ability flexibility and minimize the need for specialists to code what is essentially a formatted piece of paper.
