In most cases, you don’t need to collect browser logs yourself.
If you’re experiencing problems with documents or performance, start with our Troubleshooting tab in the Help center.

From there, you can run the built-in Diagnostics tool, which automatically checks your environment and generates a report for our Support team.

This is the fastest way to give us the information we need.

Only in some cases – usually when requested by Support – you may be asked to share browser console and network logs. These logs show the technical events happening in your browser while using the VDR, and they help us investigate more complex issues.
