# Getting help: Contact Support and My Support

Contact Support opens a form you can edit completely before anything is sent, with switches for exactly what extra information to include. My Support lists your tickets, shows replies and lets you reply, close or reopen them. Tuhi can open the form for you.

When something isn't working, open **Contact Support** from the **More** menu. It's a short form that goes to the Storage Studio team: you can edit every word before it's sent, and you choose exactly what extra information to include. **My Support** then keeps track of your tickets and the team's replies.

## Before you write

- Ask [Tuhi](https://storagestudio.us/wiki/tuhi) in the Home screen's Ask box — many questions have a direct answer.
- Read [Something's not working: start here](https://storagestudio.us/wiki/troubleshooting-start-here).
- In the Advanced popover, **Help** (⌘?) opens the full manual inside the app.

## Opening a ticket

  - leads to Follow it in My Support

1. In the Storage Studio window, click **More** → **Contact Support…** (under **Help & Support**). The same menu is under **More…** when you right-click the menu bar icon.
2. Your registered email is filled in — replies go there.
3. Add a **Subject** and a **Message**.
4. Under **What we'll include**, choose what to attach:
   - **Storage Studio version**
   - **macOS version**
   - **A diagnostics summary (helps us help you faster)** — click **Show exactly what the diagnostics contain** to read it first.
5. Click **Send to Support**.

You'll see that your ticket is open, with its reference. The team replies by email, and you can reply to that email any time.

## What the diagnostics summary contains

A few plain sentences: your Storage Studio and macOS versions, your Mac's model and chip, how much space is free on your Mac and on your external drive (or that it isn't connected), how many cloud accounts are connected, and how many background items need attention. The form says it plainly: **We never include your files, file names, or file contents.** Nothing is sent until you click **Send to Support**.

## When Tuhi offers a ticket

If you tell Tuhi about something going wrong — *"backups keep failing"*, *"it won't open"* — and it can't sort it out, it offers to open a ticket. The form opens with a draft of your problem and the diagnostics summary switched on. It's still only a draft: change anything, switch anything off, or cancel. You can also just type *"contact support"* in the Ask box.

## My Support

**More** → **My Support…** lists every ticket you've opened from this Mac, newest first, and checks for new replies every few minutes.

- Select a ticket to read the conversation and **Reply**.
- **Close ticket** when you're sorted; **Reopen** if the problem comes back.
- Once a ticket is resolved or closed, you can rate your support experience.

You can also ask Tuhi about *"my ticket"* or *"ticket status"* for a quick summary.
