You have implemented a solution and verified that the user's computer is working properly. According to the CompTIA troubleshooting methodology, what should you do NEXT to help future technicians resolve the same problem more efficiently?
Delete any temporary log files created during troubleshooting to free space.
Escalate the incident to a higher-level support group for review.
Record the findings, actions taken, and outcomes in the support ticket.
Close the ticket immediately because the user confirmed the fix.
The final step in the CompTIA troubleshooting process is to document your findings, the actions you took, and the results (including lessons learned). This record becomes a reference that speeds up future troubleshooting. Verifying functionality should already be completed before this step, escalating is unnecessary once the issue is resolved, and simply closing the ticket without documentation removes valuable information.
