Use this interactive demo to learn how to permanently redact sensitive text from Zendesk tickets.

Quick summary

Zendesk's redaction feature lets agents permanently remove sensitive information from ticket messages directly within the agent interface. In just a few clicks, you can mark text for redaction and confirm the action to instantly hide private data from the ticket thread.


Steps

  1. On the Views tab, open the specific ticket you want to edit.
  2. Find the message containing sensitive information you want to redact, then click the More Options button next to it.
  3. Tap Redact from the options menu.
  4. Highlight the text you want to remove, then click Mark For Redaction.
  5. Click Redact to confirm and proceed with the redaction.
  6. The highlighted text will be redacted immediately from the ticket.

📌 Why this matters

Redacting sensitive text from Zendesk tickets is critical for support teams that handle personally identifiable information, payment details, or confidential customer data. Zendesk's built-in redaction tool allows agents to permanently remove sensitive content from ticket messages without leaving a trace, helping organizations stay compliant with data privacy regulations such as GDPR and CCPA. This feature reduces the risk of data breaches by ensuring that sensitive information is not stored indefinitely in the support system. For customer service teams managing high volumes of tickets, the ability to redact text quickly and accurately directly within the Zendesk agent interface is a key safeguard for both customer trust and regulatory compliance.
