    Overview

    Our next-generation Chat Customization Settings include enhancements that elevate the customer’s interface experience and simplify the design and customization of the chat for the organization.
    With the new Chat settings, you can:

    • Tailor the font and colors of each chat element to match your brand's identity, ensuring a cohesive and uniform interface.
    • Improve customer engagement by enabling customers to view past conversations and pick up where they left off.
    • Make informed design decisions for your audience with the new Demo Button, which allows you to preview and update changes without the need to publish.

    The new aspects of the New Chat are found in the Channel settings. This article only covers the changes in the Chat channel settings applicable to the new settings. For all other aspects of the Chat Channel settings, read the article about the current Chat.
