What's the impact of using the Formatting Tools?

How do Premium Plus formatting tools impact Answer Bot?

If you use the AnswerBot in your Zendesk Chat widget, formatting will not be transferred there. I.e. your users will see the standard Zendesk formatting (for tables and lists), text in tables (for accordions and tabs), or no formatting at all (for callouts and quotes). In the latter case, the callout and quote will look like a regular abstract with a tile. The button will look like a simple text with the link. So try it out first before publishing your article.
If you use Zendesk Classic widget, the user will be redirected to the help centre article via the link.

 

How do Premium Plus formatting tools impact search results?

The custom formatting has no impact on the search results either on the help center or the Chat widget.

 

Is there an impact on the loading time of the articles?

Formatting tools have no impact on the loading time of the articles.

 

What is the impact on the agents?

If agents consult articles via Zendesk Support directly (Context knowledge panel or Knowledge capture app), the formatting will not be displayed. The content however will be visible.
