Create a follow-up to a closed case

2. At the bottom of the resulting page, click the create a follow-up link.
3. This initiates the standard Create a Case process, with all of the previous case's information in tact. Make any changes necessary, and click Submit when ready.

Case statuses

Your submitted cases can be in one of five statuses throughout their life cycle: New, Open, Pending, Solved, Closed.

• New means that the request was received but that it has not been opened and has not yet been assigned to our Support team. The New status can indicate that our Support team is evaluating it to determine who should be assigned to resolve it.
• Open means that the request has been assigned to one of our Support staff who is working to resolve it. Once a case status changes to Open, it can never return to New.
• Pending means that the assigned Support agent has a follow-up question for the requester. The agent may need more information about the support issue. Requests that are set to Pending typically remain that way until the requester responds and provides the information the agent needs to continue resolving the request.
• Solved means that the agent has resolved the support issue. Solved cases are closed 10 days after they have been set to Solved. Until a case is closed, the requester can reopen the case. For example, the requester may not agree with the agent that the support issue is resolved and reply back to the case solved email notification.
• Closed means that the case is complete and can't be reopened. Requesters can, however, create follow-up requests for closed requests.
