Hi @April-Xu. Thanks for your PR.

I'm waiting for a pingcap member to verify that this patch is reasonable to test. If it is, they should reply with /ok-to-test on its own line. Until that is done, I will not automatically test new commits in this PR, but the usual testing commands by org members will still work. Regular contributors should join the org to skip this step.

Once the patch is verified, the new status will be reflected by the ok-to-test label.

I understand the commands that are listed here.

Summary of Changes

Hello @April-Xu, I'm Gemini Code Assist1! I'm currently reviewing this pull request and will post my feedback shortly. In the meantime, here's a summary to help you and other reviewers quickly get up to speed!

This pull request focuses on enhancing the clarity and accuracy of TiDB Cloud's support documentation. The changes streamline information regarding various support channels, explicitly detail community access for different service plans, and ensure consistent terminology across related documents. The primary goal is to make it easier for users to understand their support options and effectively utilize community resources like Slack and Discord for assistance.

Highlights

  • Navigation Update: The 'Get Support' navigation link has been renamed to 'Working with Support Team' across all TiDB Cloud documentation tables of contents (TOC-tidb-cloud-essential.md, TOC-tidb-cloud-premium.md, TOC-tidb-cloud-starter.md, TOC-tidb-cloud.md) for improved clarity.
  • Community Access Clarity: Descriptions for Developer and Basic plans in the 'Connected Care Overview' document now explicitly include direct links to TiDB Community Slack and Discord, making community resources more discoverable.
  • Detailed Support Channels Section: A new 'Support Channels' section has been introduced in the 'Connected Care Overview' document, providing a comprehensive outline of available support avenues: Support Tickets, Community, and TiDB.AI, along with their respective uses.
  • Support Document Refinement: The tidb-cloud-support.md document has been updated to reflect the new 'Working with Support Team' title and includes clarification that Basic plan users can seek technical assistance through community channels, as technical support tickets are reserved for paid plans.
  • Community Workspace Links: The 'Connected Care Details' document now replaces generic 'Community Workspace' table entries with specific, clickable links to the TiDB Community Slack and Discord, enhancing direct access.

Code Review

This pull request effectively streamlines the documentation for TiDB Cloud support services, enhancing clarity around support channels and community access. The updates to rename 'Get Support' to 'Working with Support Team' and add direct links to community platforms are great improvements. I've provided a few minor suggestions to further align the text with the repository's style guide, primarily focusing on using the second-person perspective, active voice, and improving conciseness.

A ticket-based support channel for issues that require direct assistance from our global support team. [Billing and account-related tickets](https://docs.pingcap.com/tidbcloud/tidb-cloud-support/#create-an-account-or-billing-support-ticket) are available to all TiDB Cloud users. [Technical support tickets](https://docs.pingcap.com/tidbcloud/tidb-cloud-support/#create-a-technical-support-ticket) with guaranteed response times are available for paid support plans. Users without a paid support plan can ask technical questions through the Community channels.
For the Enterprise and Premium support plans, the following enhanced capabilities are included. For more details, please refer to [Connected Care Details](https://docs.pingcap.com/tidbcloud/connected-care-detail/).

Open discussion channels where you can ask questions, share experiences, and get guidance from the community and PingCAP engineers. These channels are best for general questions, usage discussions, and non-urgent technical issues.
- [TiDB.AI](https://tidb.ai/)
An AI-powered assistant that helps answer common technical questions and documentation-related issues. Best for quick, self-service help.
