Deactivating Layouts in Zendesk

Understand the process and implications of deactivating a layout in Zendesk, including how to reactivate it.

What happens when I deactivate a layout in Zendesk?

When you deactivate a layout in Zendesk, it remains in your list of layouts but is not assigned to any contextual workspaces. You can reactivate it later by making it the default or assigning it to a workspace. To deactivate, ensure it's not the default layout and, for Enterprise plans, remove it from any contextual workspaces.
