How to Enable Your Zendesk Help Center
How do I enable my Zendesk help center?
To enable your Zendesk help center, you need to be the account owner. This process allows you to start building your knowledge base while keeping it hidden from end users.
To get started, sign in to Zendesk Support as the account owner. Click the Zendesk Products icon in the top bar and select Guide. If you see the 'Get started' option, click it to enable your help center in setup mode. If your help center opens instead, it means it has already been enabled. You can then customize the default theme and add content before making it live. For more details, check out theoriginal link.
