# How to manage ticket in help.center?

When you first receive a support ticket in your Inbox
[https://support.help.center/article/1081-how-does-inbox-work], it is
categorized under the Open status. This initial status helps in identifying new
and unresolved queries.



Upon replying to a ticket, it is automatically assigned to the customer support
agent who responded.



After sending your reply, you can update the ticket status to In Progress. This
status indicates that the issue is currently being addressed.



Once the issue has been resolved and the conversation with the customer is
complete, the ticket can be closed. To close a ticket, you can either use the
shortcut c or manually select the Closed status from the ticket's options.



Closing the ticket signifies that no further action is required and the issue
has been successfully resolved. If a closed ticket receives a reply, its status
will automatically change to Open, and the ticket will appear in your inbox.
