Setup page changes: Regrouping and categorization of features

 Dear Desk Users,


We're pleased to announce an upcoming revamp of the Desk setup page. These changes are intended to improve the organization and visibility of features on the setup page. 

Why are we making these changes?

Simplified navigation


Our primary goal is to make it easier for you to find exactly what you need, when you need it. The new setup page features a more intuitive and streamlined structure, reducing the number of clicks and the time spent searching for features.


Consistency and clarity


Some features have been renamed to adhere to standardized naming conventions. In addition, related features are grouped together, and new groups have been introduced to maintain consistency, ease navigation, and minimize confusion, making your Zoho Desk experience more user-friendly.


Future-ready design


The new setup page is designed to accommodate the evolving needs of Zoho Desk users and ensure that the platform can successfully accommodate future enhancements and new features.

                                                            Currently, while replying to a ticket, it is possible for agents to choose their own email addresses as 'from' addresses. Although we built this just for that little extra flexibility, in hindsight, it hasn't figured much in conventional usage.  Almost all businesses prefer that responses to their customers' tickets be sent from the common support/service email address and NOT from those of individual agents. During personal interactions at events, some of you have even made passing mentions about
