Sandbox version management: Inspect, compare, and deploy Zendesk configurations | What's New

IT asset management: Track and manage employee devices directly in Zendesk | What's New

Employee support issues often tie back to the devices people rely on every day. But asset details don’t always live where tickets do. IT asset management in Zendesk gives internal service teams a single place to track and manage employee devices alongside support tickets. Teams can view asset details like status, ownership, location, and related ticket history, helping agents resolve issues with more context and less back-and-forth. IT specialists and asset managers can even assign devices and manage inventory all within Zendesk.

Tasks: Create step-by-step checklists for tickets to standardize workflows | What's New

Data masking: Limit access to sensitive customer data | What's New

Not everyone needs access to sensitive customer information.

Attachment deletion schedules: Automatically remove attachments to manage storage | What's New

Attachments often contain sensitive information — and keeping them longer than necessary can increase risk and storage costs. Attachment deletion schedules let admins automatically delete attachments from closed and archived tickets based on flexible conditions like ticket age, group, tags, or brand. This helps teams maintain control and simplify security—automated attachment management reduces manual work while keeping your Zendesk workspace secure, auditable, and compliant.
