Guide: How to record your browser activity for technical support?

This guide explains how to create a “snapshot” of your browser activity (logs, network and console).

This file, in .har format, is very useful for our technical team to diagnose and resolve any issues you may encounter.

1. Open the developer tools:

  • On Windows/Linux: press the F12 key

2. Go to the “Network” tab:

Click on the Network tab at the top of the window that just opened.

3. Configure logging:

  • Check the “Preserve log” box.
  • Check the “Disable cache” box.

4. Clear old logs:

  • Click on the crossed-out circle icon 🚫 to delete all existing lines.
