In some cases, the support team may ask for console and network logs to investigate an issue in detail. These logs give insight into the specific actions and events on the user’s computer while using the Virtual Data Room (VDR) platform, helping us identify the root cause of any problems that arise. Collecting this information allows us to see exactly what occurs at each step, so we can resolve issues more accurately and efficiently.
