Yes. You can choose whether to use the Support Hub or email to interact with Arm on your support case. All our support email addresses continue to work. However, we encourage you to raise your case on the Support Hub. This is because the Support Hub gives you access to our knowledge base and gives you a faster response time.

All communication from our Application Engineers on your case is on email, and you receive emails with the full written response. Therefore, the historical Arm Account notification preferences (full text, link only, or no email) no longer apply.

You can add people from your organization to the support case using the To or cc field of your email. This means that they receive email updates. 

You can also add people from outside your organization as watchers. For security, you must add people with a different email domain to yours from the Watchers section of the Support Hub.

Yes. If you want to remove watchers from a case, you can do this in the Support Hub. Removing somebody from the cc of an email does not remove them as a watcher.

The My Watched Cases tab in the Support Hub provides a list of all the cases on which you are a watcher.

Watchers have full edit rights on a support case that they are watching. For example, watchers can correspond on the case, add more watchers, stop watching, close a case, and complete the support survey.

Providing the name of your product when you open a support case allows a quicker response. However, you can also describe the product in your own words.

The Feed section of the Support Hub shows all activity on a case. You can sort activity by Most Recent Activity. Any activity on the case, including emails or attachments, appears in the timeline history. To find and view these items, use the Emails and Attachments tabs next to Feed.

After you open your support case, you can upload attachments of up to 5GB in size. There is no restriction on file type, so you can upload whatever file you would like to share with the Arm engineer who is working on your case.

On the Case Details page, there is a Customer Reference field, where you can add your project, business unit, or other useful information to help organize a support case. You can use this reference to search for cases with the Search cases bar in the page header.
