Creating a Read-Only Discussion Topic in Zendesk
Is it possible to create a read-only discussion topic in Zendesk?
Currently, Zendesk does not offer a native option to create a read-only discussion topic where only admins can post.
However, you can close individual posts for comments to prevent further discussion. This means that while you can't make an entire topic read-only, you can control the interaction on a post-by-post basis. For more detailed solutions, you might want to explore community suggestions or workarounds shared by other users.
