# Closing Issues
Please read through the [GitLab Issue Documentation](index.md) for an overview on GitLab Issues.
## Directly
Whenever you decide that's no longer need for that issue,
close the issue using the close button:
## Via Merge Request
When a merge request resolves the discussion over an issue, you can
make it close that issue(s) when merged.
All you need is to use a [keyword](automatic_issue_closing.md)
accompanying the issue number, add to the description of that MR.
In this example, the keyword "closes" prefixing the issue number will create a relationship
in such a way that the merge request will close the issue when merged.
Mentioning various issues in the same line also works for this purpose:
```md
Closes #333, #444, #555 and #666
```
If the issue is in a different repository rather then the MR's,
add the full URL for that issue(s):
```md
Closes #333, #444, and https://gitlab.com/<username>/<projectname>/issues/<xxx>
```
All the following keywords will produce the same behaviour:
- Close, Closes, Closed, Closing, close, closes, closed, closing
- Fix, Fixes, Fixed, Fixing, fix, fixes, fixed, fixing
- Resolve, Resolves, Resolved, Resolving, resolve, resolves, resolved, resolving
If you use any other word before the issue number, the issue and the MR will
link to each other, but the MR will NOT close the issue(s) when merged.
## From the Issue Board
You can close an issue from [Issue Boards](../issue_board.md) by dragging an issue card
from its list and dropping into **Closed**.
## Customizing the issue closing pattern
Alternatively, a GitLab **administrator** can
[customize the issue closing pattern](../../../administration/issue_closing_pattern.md).
