# Routing with Move & Escalate

### Overview

Tickets can be moved by Agents from the origin Inbox to another Inbox.&#x20;

There are several benefits of using the Move & Escalate feature:&#x20;

* Move the ticket as it was submitted to the wrong Inbox&#x20;
* Move the ticket to another team Inbox as it needs to be escalated
* Contain the replies on the ticket for the new team to review&#x20;
* Create a new ticket and reference it automatically to the origin ticket

### Move a Public Ticket to Private

#### Overview

When a sensitive topic comes in through a public channel, you can move the ticket into a private DM - keeping the conversation discreet without any manual workarounds.

This is useful for situations such as HR requests, personal issues, or any topic that shouldn't remain visible in a shared channel.

***

#### How to Move a Ticket to Private

1. Open the ticket in Slack
2. Select the **More options** menu (three dots **···**)
3. Click **Move & Escalate**
4. Choose to the Form which is configured to be Private

The ticket will be routed out of the public channel and into a private conversation with the Requester.

{% hint style="info" %}
Requesters can still submit tickets through any public channel. You can move the ticket private at any point after it has been created.
