- internal notes and tags
- SLA reminders and priority levels
2. Knowledge base
- searchable help articles
- categories and subcategories
- rich text editor with images, links, and videos
- article versioning and drafts
- publish/unpublish workflow
- article feedback like “helpful / not helpful”
3. Smart support assistance

- auto-suggest answers based on ticket content
- show related tickets and past resolutions
- FAQ recommendations for customers
4. Customer self-service portal
- public help center
