You can download a PDF of the transcript in your chat widget.

## Enable Header Dropdown
<a name="chat-widget-download-transcript-enable-header-dropdown"></a>

The button to download the transcript is within a drop down menu in the header. To enable the header’s drop down menu, we have to configure our chat widget’s [customizationObject](pass-customization-object.md) in the widget script.

```
amazon_connect('customizationObject', {
        header: { 
            dropdown: true, 
        }
});
```

Note that enabling the drop down menu will automatically disable the footer since the **End Chat** functionality is moved to the header drop down menu. If you want to keep the footer, you can re-enable it by using the following:

```
amazon_connect('customizationObject', {
        header: { 
            dropdown: true, 
        },
        footer: {
            disabled: false,
        }
});
```

## Download PDF of Chat Transcript
<a name="chat-widget-download-transcript-pdf"></a>

After enabling the header drop down menu, you should be able to see a triple dot menu on the top left of the chat widget. Within that drop down menu, you should see a download **Chat Transcript** button.
