If you've been asked by our Support team to provide screenshots and browser console logs, this guide will walk you through how to capture and share the necessary information using Google Chrome.
๐ How to Open the DevTools Console in Chrome
Google Chromeโs Developer Tools allow you to inspect elements on a page and view behind-the-scenes feedback โ including any error messages that may help us diagnose the issue.
There are several ways to open DevTools:
โ Quickest Method
๐ฑ๏ธ Right-Click Method
๐ Chrome Menu Method
Click the three-dot menu (โฎ) in the upper-right corner of Chrome
Go to More Tools > Developer Tools
Select the Console tab
๐ Capturing Console Errors and Saving as a LOG File
Once the Console tab is open:
Reload the page thatโs showing the issue (use
CTRL + R
orCommand + R
).Any background errors, warnings, or logs will appear in the Console window.
They will usually be in RED.
Right-click inside the Console area, and choose Save as...
Save the file (default format is
.log
) and name it something descriptive, likeconsole-log-error.log
.
๐ค Once saved, attach the LOG file in your response to Support so we can investigate the issue further.
You can also take a screenshot of the Console log, though the raw log file is more helpful.
