   ![](/files/84x0h3x0JYzf5MWWVHeU)
4. Click on the issue you wish to reopen from the list.
5. You will be redirected to the main page of the issue.
6. Click “Reopen” located at the bottom of the issue timeline on the main page of the issue.\
   ![](/files/sqn7ImE9ATjgSO05y0Z0)
7. The status of the issue is set to open and it is moved back to the list of open issues.
