Inspecting account configurations is currently part of an early access program (EAP). You can sign up for the Configuration Management EAP here.
Location: Admin Center > Account > Configuration management > Inspection

Admins can use the Inspect page in Admin Center to produce a summary of their account configurations for their Zendesk environments. Rather than jumping around to each separate page, you can quickly review everything from account-level settings to business rules, channels, and organizations. This makes it easier for admins to manage the account and deploy changes from sandboxes to production accounts.

Additionally, admins can save a snapshot of an environment's current configuration as a record they can look back on if necessary.

This article contains the following topics:
  • Inspecting configurations
  • Saving a snapshot of an environment's current configuration

Inspecting configurations

Inspecting configurations provides a big-picture view of an environment.

To inspect an account configuration
  1. In Admin Center, click Account in the sidebar, then select Configuration management > Inspection.
  2. Select the Environment (account) that you want to inspect.

    This can take up to 20 seconds for very large instances.

  3. Click on a configuration item's name to expand and inspect it. You can also search for specific configurations by name.

Saving a snapshot of an environment's current configuration

When inspecting an environment's configuration, you can save a snapshot, which is a read-only version of the configuration as it exists at that time. After a snapshot is saved, you can view, edit, and delete it from the Snapshots page in Admin Center.

To save a snapshot of an environment's configuration
  1. In Admin Center, click Account in the sidebar, then select Configuration management > Inspection.
  2. Select the Environment (account) that you want to save a version of.
  3. Click Save this snapshot.
  4. Enter a unique name for the version.
  5. Click Save.
