Paste the copied information into your bug report or Obsidian support email. ### Capture console logs When you need to report a bug related to an Obsidian plugin, or when requested to provide log information, you may need to access the Obsidian console. Here's how you can do it based on your operating system: - **Windows**: `CTRL + SHIFT + i` - **MacOS**: `CMD + OPTION + i` - **Linux**: `CTRL + SHIFT + i` Once you've opened the developer console: 1. Select on **console** in the top menu. 2. Choose the **errors** side menu option. Any errors will be displayed as `# errors`. 3. Select one of the red error messages. 4. Choose the option to **Save as...** This will save all the errors in the console. 5. Save the log file to your device. 6. Attach the log file to your bug report or Obsidian support email. ![[help-support-console-menu.png#interface|600]] > [!warning] Mobile devices/tablets have limited access to their developer consoles.
