Managing Closed Tickets in Zendesk

Discover what actions you can take with closed tickets in Zendesk, including creating follow-up tickets.

What can I do with closed tickets in Zendesk?

With closed tickets in Zendesk, you can create follow-up tickets but cannot edit the original ticket. Closed tickets are set to read-only, meaning you cannot change any ticket properties or apply business rules like triggers and automations.

If you need to update information from a closed ticket, creating a follow-up ticket is the best approach. This allows you to continue the conversation or make necessary updates while keeping the original ticket intact.
