A consistent, up-to-date signature helps every outbound message look professional. This guide walks through updating your personal signature in Zendesk's agent profile, plus how administrators can adjust the shared global signature template that applies account-wide.
01Access your profile canvas
Open your individual agent user profile from the top navigation bar.
02Rewrite your outdated details
Locate the sidebar signature box and update your name, title, and contact information.
03Add Markdown styling
Insert bold text, italics, or hyperlinks using Zendesk's Markdown styling engine to make the signature easier to read.
04Switch to the admin path if needed
Launch Admin Center and open the Agent Interface settings to reach the global common signature template.
05Edit the shared card carefully
Make account-wide changes while preserving dynamic token placeholders that pull in individual agent data.
06Save and verify
Save your adjustments and run a public comment layout test to confirm the signature displays correctly.
Frequently asked questions
Do I need admin permissions to change my own signature?

Broken tokens can cause agent-specific details to display incorrectly or not populate at all, so edit them carefully.
Can I preview my signature before it goes out to real customers?
Yes, running a public comment test lets you check spacing and link behavior before relying on it.
Is Markdown required to format the signature?
