Legacy vs New CCs in Zendesk

Understand the differences between legacy and new CCs in Zendesk, including the Follower feature.

What are the differences between the legacy and new CCs in Zendesk?

The new CCs experience in Zendesk functions more like traditional email CCs and includes the Follower feature. This feature allows agents to receive updates on tickets without being visible as public participants. In contrast, the legacy version does not include these enhancements. If your account still uses the legacy version, you can migrate to the new experience for improved functionality. For more information, see the article: About CCs, @mentions, and followers.
