Exciting improvements are on the horizon for the SUSE support experience. You can anticipate a more intuitive, efficient, and personalised support journey with upcoming changes to case management and knowledge as well as the introduction of a new state-of-the-art search engine.
Enhanced SUSE Customer Center
A new Support section of the SUSE Customer Center will provide a central point for support interactions, allowing for the creation and management of support cases, as well as enhanced search and the SUSE knowledgebase.
Redesigned Support Homepage
This new page will include:
- Case Activity: A clear overview of case data, filterable by status and severity, with indicators for escalated and Premium Support cases.
- Trending and Recent Articles: Easy discovery of popular and newly published knowledge base articles relevant to your interests, with product-based filtering.

- State-of-the-art search: A new search engine with AI capabilities, delivering results from SUSE knowledge, documentation, websites and more.
Streamlined Case Management
Managing support cases will be more efficient:
