Get support for Office 365
There are many ways that you, as an administrator, can get help with Microsoft Office 365 for professionals and small businesses. Various support options are available to you, depending on how your organization purchased Office 365.
If your organization purchased Office 365 directly from Microsoft, you can do the following:
Search the Help articles. The most common questions and tasks are covered in the Help articles. To search these sources, on the Support overview page, in the Help and community section, type a question or phrase into the search box.
Troubleshoot. At the top of the Community home page, click Troubleshooting. Follow the steps in the troubleshooting tool to find possible solutions for some common issues with Office 365 and services such as Lync Online or SharePoint Online.
Read and post in the community forum. The community forum is a place where anyone who uses Office 365 can post a question, and others can answer. Before you add your question, look to see whether someone else has already asked it.
Read the team blog. The Office 365 team writes a blog that highlights new features and solutions to common issues.
Contact billing and subscription support. To submit a service request or contact a Support representative by phone, see Contact Support for a billing or subscription issue.
