Article Formatting Options

Article formatting options make your articles more attractive and easier to read without multiple plugins or theme customization.

Article formatting options refer to visual features such as styles, images, tabs, tables. They can change your Zendesk help center design and make it stand out from the competition. Our themes come with these additional built-in components with truly impressive capabilities. Your help center design will look amazing with the least effort without installing multiple plugins or customizing the theme. Although Zendesk, by default, does not come with these formatting options, our templates have been tweaked to support them. This means you have all the files you need to change your help center design without further delay.

Customizable Blocks

Amongst our most powerful and valuable additional components, customizable blocks certainly rank pretty high. You can choose how and where to use these blocks. You can use them to direct your visitors and significantly increase visitor interaction. Our themes give you the added benefit of being able to easily set styles, colors, fonts, and block sizes to improve your content and make your help center look more attractive right away.

Callout Blocks

Use different colors and frames to separate instructions, important links, or call-to-action segments and attract your visitors to the sections of your pages that give you the most significant gain and convey the message you want.
