Test Zendesk Help Center Safely

Use Zendesk's Theme Preview to test your help center without affecting the live site. Learn how to identify display issues.

How can I test my Zendesk help center without affecting the live site?

You can test your Zendesk help center without affecting the live site by using the Theme Preview functionality. This allows you to test different themes, including the default Copenhagen theme, without making changes visible to your customers.

To do this, navigate to the Customize Design area in Guide Admin, add the Copenhagen theme, and use the preview feature to check various template pages. This way, you can identify if issues are related to your custom theming code or the platform itself.
