Zendesk Web Widget 'Forget History' Feature
How does the 'Forget history' feature work in Zendesk Web Widget?
The 'Forget history' feature in Zendesk Web Widget ensures that each conversation starts fresh by not persisting previous conversations across sessions. This is particularly useful for shared browser environments to protect user privacy. The feature is session-based, meaning a new browser tab must be opened for a fresh start. This setting can be adjusted under the Authentication tab in the Web Widget settings.
