    I have Professional level but I am not seeing the Department option under settings. Am I missing something? or are Departments not available at Professional level? If so, please clarify on the documentation.

    Hi, I have set up a new Department (Group) but when I want to include it under department selections on the front end of the website, it is not displaying ?

    Hi Joe,
     
    You'd want to make sure that there are agents added into the department(group) and it is enabled from the Chat instance.
    You can check on this article to know more about managing agent groups in the Zendesk Agent Workspace

    This article no longer appears to be correct or is misleading. 

    "Contributors do not occupy an agent seat in Support unless they are manually upgraded to an agent role."

    Technically this is correct but when the chat agent is added it does take full support agent seat, regardless of the support agent level.  I spoke with support, and this is the expected behavior.

    Is there a way to edit only the displayed name of the department in the pre-chat form, without changing the name of the department in the general ZD settings?
