# Can I reopen an incident?

Yes - it's very simple!

* Go to the incident slack channel
* Use the command `/inc update`
* Update the incident status to the relevant "open" status

You can also do this within the dashboard. Just head to the incident's homepage and click *Share update.* You'll then see the pop-up shown below where you can re-open the incident.

## If your incident channel has been archived:

* Go to the slack channel
* Go to settings
* Unarchive the channel
* Then complete the above steps!
