đ» What is the Developer Console?
In some cases, a screenshot of the developer console is absolutely necessary for us to troubleshoot. Itâs a tool in your web browser that shows error messages and technical information that isnât visible to you as a user.
Without the information from the console, we sometimes canât move forward or understand what went wrong. Taking a screenshot only takes a few seconds and can be crucial for us to help you in the best possible way.
đ§ How to take a screenshot of the Dev Console:
1. Open the browser and go to the page thatâs causing problems
Example: Go to the website or email that isnât behaving as it should.
2. Open the Developer Console
There are several waysâchoose the one that works best for you:
đĄ Option A: Keyboard shortcut
Windows: Press Ctrl + Shift + I
Mac: Press Cmd + Option + I
đĄ Option B: Right-click
Right-click anywhere on the page
Select âInspectâ (or âInspekteraâ if your browser is in Swedish)
This will open the developer tools (they may appear on the right-hand side or at the bottom of your window).
3. Click the âConsoleâ tab
In the small window that appears, click on the tab called Console (or âKonsolâ if your browser is in Swedish). This shows error messages, warnings, and other information we need to see.
4. Take a screenshot (print screen)
đ» Windows
Press Print Screen (often marked PrtScn) to capture the entire screen
Or Alt + Print Screen to capture just the active window

The image will be saved automatically on your desktop
