Starting a New Theme in Zendesk Guide
How can I start a new theme in Zendesk Guide?
To start a new theme in Zendesk Guide, you can either add a fresh copy of the Copenhagen theme or duplicate an existing theme. This allows you to build a new theme from scratch or modify an existing one to suit your needs. The Copenhagen theme is a great starting point as it is the standard theme provided by Zendesk.
You can add a new theme directly in Guide, which will automatically add a fresh copy of the Copenhagen theme to your Themes page. Alternatively, you can access the open-source Copenhagen repository on GitHub to get a fresh version of the theme. If you prefer to modify an existing theme, simply duplicate it to retain some of the existing styles. For more details, see theAdding a help center theme to Guide.
