How to Deactivate Your Zendesk Help Center
How do I deactivate my Zendesk Help Center?
To deactivate your Zendesk Help Center, you need to be a Support admin. Deactivating the Help Center hides it from end-users but does not delete any content. To do this, go to Guide, click the Settings icon in the sidebar, then select Guide settings. At the bottom of the settings page, click Deactivate, then Update, and confirm by clicking Yes, deactivate. You can reactivate it later by clicking Activate at the top of the settings page.
