### Review Existing Documentation

Before submitting a support request, please ensure that your issue is not already addressed in the SeaLights documentation.

* Use the search functionality or browse the relevant [**Troubleshooting** and **FAQ** pages](https://docs.sealights.io/knowledgebase/setup-and-configuration/troubleshooting-faq/general).
* This can help you find a solution more quickly and avoid delays in resolution.
  {% endstep %}

### Provide Enough Information for Technical Assistance

When requesting technical assistance from the SeaLights Support Team, please provide enough information to help us in the most effective manner:

* [x] **Technical details:** Include the **App**, **Branch**, and **Build names** relevant to the issue. If the issue occurs in a specific context, please also share details such as the **Test Stage name** or **LabID**.
* [x] **Detailed steps to reproduce:** Provide clear, step-by-step instructions, including any scripts or commands used when calling SeaLights agents, plugins, or APIs.
* [x] **Direct links and/or screenshots:** Illustrate the issue with direct links and screenshots from your SeaLights account screens.
* [x] **Console Output / Logs:** Provide relevant console output and logs, ideally in **verbose mode** if applicable.
* [x] **Expected vs. Actual Behavior:** Clearly describe what you expected to happen versus what actually occurred.

### Raise Your Assistance Request

Once you have gathered the relevant information, you can submit your support request using one of the following methods:

#### Option 1: Raise a Support Request via Our Service Desk Platform

Access your account through the dedicated link on your SeaLights account (Help > Support Portal), or via a favorite link saved in your browser, to raise a customer support request. 

{% hint style="warning" %}
Please note that your Service Desk access credentials may differ from your SeaLights dashboard login, as they rely on separate authentication systems.

## Attaching Files to Tickets

You can attach files to your support tickets directly through the comment or attachment fields. If you need to attach a large file (larger than 512MB), such as extensive logs or video recordings, you can create a [multipart ZIP or RAR archive](/knowledgebase/guides/user-story-coverage/readme.md) and then upload these segments using the same instructions below.

### Attach a file to an existing ticket <a href="#attach-a-file-to-an-existing-ticket" id="attach-a-file-to-an-existing-ticket"></a>

1. Open the ticket from the support portal.
2. Click on **"Add a comment"** to start a new comment.
3. Drag and drop the file directly into the comment field.
4. Save the comment.

### Attach a File to a New Ticket:

1. Click on **"Browse"** inside the attachments field when creating your new ticket.
2. Select your file and click **"Open."**
