# Reopen case

You can reopen a completed support case at any time if the issue remains unresolved. 

When a case is reopened, its status automatically changes from **Completed** to **Processing**, and it is reassigned by default to the last assignee who handled it.

You can reopen a completed case from either the **Cases** page or the **Chat** page within the platform.

### Reopen a case from the Cases page

To reopen a completed case from the **Cases** page:

1. Go to **Helpdesk** > **Cases**.
2. (Optional) Use filters to find the desired case.
3. Select the case ID. 
4. In the details pane on the right, select the actions icon (**•••**), then choose **Reopen**.
5. In the **Reopen case** confirmation, confirm that you want to open the case. 

### Reopen a case from the Chats page

To reopen a completed case from the **Chats** page:

1. Go to the **Chats** page.
