+3. Fill in the required information:
+
+- **Selected product**: choose the product related to your issue from the available options, such as Instances, GPU, or Elastic Metal.
+
+- **Related resource**: specify the exact resource affected by the issue, such as a specific Instance or volume.
+
+- **Severity**: select the severity level based on the impact of the issue (see table below).
+
+
+| **Severity** | **Description** | **Examples** |
+|--------------|---------------------------------------------------------------------------|--------------------------------------------------------|
+| **Low** | Non-urgent issues with minimal impact on your operations. | General questions about product configuration. |
+| **Medium** | Issues that affect your operations but have workarounds available. | Instance is slower than expected but still accessible. |
+| **High** | Critical issues that block your operations, with no available workaround. | API calls consistently fail with errors. |
+
+
+## Writing an effective subject and description
+
+Providing a clear subject and description will help us resolve your issue faster.
+
+- **Subject**: write a short and clear title that summarizes the issue (e.g., "Instance not starting after configuration update", "API call returns 500 error for all requests").
+
+- **Description**: write a detailed description to help us resolve the issue faster. Here are a few tips on how to write a ticket description:
+
+### Clearly describe the issue
+- **Context:** explain when and where the problem occurs.
+Example: “The issue occurs when attempting to start an Instance after applying a configuration update in the Scaleway console.”
+
+- **Expected behavior:** explain what you expected to happen.
+Example: “The instance should start within 2 minutes without errors.”
+
+- **Actual behavior:** describe what is happening instead.
+Example: “The Instance remains in "Starting" status for over 10 minutes and then switches to "Error".
+
+### Include relevant technical details
+
+- **Environment details:** mention your operating system, tools, or SDKs (e.g., “Ubuntu 20.04, Scaleway API v2, Python SDK.”)
+
+- **Logs or error messages:** include any logs, request/response payloads, or error codes (e.g., “API call GET /instances returns 500 Internal Server Error.”)
+
+### Add supporting files
+
+Attach screenshots (png, jpg), or files (pdf).
+Examples:
+- Screenshot of the Scaleway console
+- Screenshot of the network tab of your browser’s Developer Tools (right-click anywhere on the page and select **Inspect**. Go to the **Network tab** in the Developer Tools panel.)
+- Logs
