Helpshift Template App is a replacement for the current content pack. You can search and download Helpshift Template Apps from the AppSource.

Note: Helpshift Content packs ( Support Analytics, Agent Analytics, Bots Analytics, and FAQ Analytics) are deprecated by Microsoft because of manageability issues. Template App is a better version of the Content pack, therefore, going forward, all the updates about analytics will be available only in Template Apps. Helpshift recommends you to install/use Template Apps only.
