2. Read the knowledge article to see whether it resolves a case.
3. If the knowledge article provides a solution, in the Related Case section of the article, click Close Case.
4. In the message window that appears, click Close Case.

## Result

An information message about the case being closed appears. If any case was closed by using a knowledge article link accessed from an Auto-Responder email notification, a View Case button appears in that article. Click the button to view the details of the case that was closed.
