How do I manage overriding widget and chat settings?

Authors list

All of the settings you find under Admin >  Chat > Site Widget & Chat can also be overridden on a per-page basis.

The default widget looks like this:

<!--DESKPRO_WIDGET_LOADER::BEGIN-->
<script type="text/javascript">window.DESKPRO_WIDGET_OPTIONS = {
"helpdeskUrl": "https://example.deskpro.com/"
};
</script>
<script type="text/javascript" id="dp-widget-loader" src="https://example.deskpro.com/dyn-assets/pub/build/widget_loader.min.js"></script>
<!--DESKPRO_WIDGET_LOADER::END-->

You can assign override values to window.DESKPRO_WIDGET_OPTIONS to change whatever value you have set in the Admin Interface.

<!--DESKPRO_WIDGET_LOADER::BEGIN-->
 <script type="text/javascript">window.DESKPRO_WIDGET_OPTIONS = {
   "helpdeskUrl": "https://example.deskpro.com/",
