Troubleshooting

Learn how to self-help using the troubleshooting tab in the Help center

Updated this week

If you’re having problems loading or using the data room, your first port of call to run a quick diagnostic check is the Troubleshooting tab in the Help Center inside your project.

Our built-in troubleshooting tool quickly checks for network and system issues that may affect the Ideals platform performance. It’s designed to help you and your IT team identify problems and resolve them in just a few clicks – saving you time and effort.

Run a diagnostic

  1. Go to the top right of your project and click the Help icon

  2. Click on the Troubleshooting tab

  3. Select Run diagnostic

  4. Wait a few seconds while the system checks your connection and setup

The diagnostic may detect issues such as:

  • A server being unavailable

  • Problems downloading test files (PDF, DOCX, XLSX, ZIP, encrypted PDF)

  • WebSocket connection errors

If no issues are found, you’ll see a confirmation that everything is working correctly.

If issues are found

When a problem is detected, you’ll see details listed in red. You can:

  • Copy error details to share with your IT team or our Support team.

  • Clear site-specific cache if the issue is related to stored browser data.

  • Contact your project administrator if the error requires escalation.

Clear site-specific cache

Clearing your cache can fix certain loading issues. It gives you a fresh start, ensuring nothing gets in the way of using our application smoothly.

  • When you select Clear site-specific cache, you’ll be signed out of the data room.

  • Log back in afterwards to continue working.

💡 When clearing the app’s cache, only our app's cache will be cleared, and we won't erase all browser cookies

Download a diagnostic report

When the diagnostic tool finds an error, an option to Download report appears.

  • The report is saved as a .JSON file containing the detected issues.

  • You can share this file with the Ideals Support team to help them investigate faster.

  • To download:

    1. Run the diagnostic in the Troubleshooting tab.

    2. If errors are detected, click Download report.

    3. Send the downloaded .json file to Support along with a description of the issue.

💡 If no errors are found, the download option won’t be available
