# Close Chat

The **closed status** clearly indicates that the particular conversation has been **successfully resolved**. Some notable points are:

* The conversation can be **closed manually**, by a **journey**, or by an **Auto** **closure** **rule**. 
* **Chats marked as close helps agent quickly identify which chats still require their attention**, ensuring that they can prioritize their workload effectively.

### Manually Close Chat

The agent can **manually close the chat** once the customer's query is answered.

How do you that?

1. Head over to any customer inbox and click on the '**Mark as Close**' button on the left side of Customer hub.
