How can I redact sensitive information in Zendesk tickets?
To redact sensitive information in Zendesk tickets, you can use the ticket redaction feature available in the Zendesk Agent Workspace.

To redact content, open the ticket, hover over the conversation thread, click the options menu icon, and select 'Redact'. You can then mark the content you wish to redact. Remember, redaction is irreversible, so proceed with caution. For more details, visit theZendesk help article.
