Export Diagnostics
The report detail view in the Admin Console can export a bug report's full context in four formats. Use it to share a report with a teammate over chat, hand it to an AI assistant, or archive the full diagnostic payload.
Where to Find It
Open any report from the Reports list. The Export dropdown sits in the header next to the title, alongside the assignment and status controls.
The dropdown remembers your last-used format and action across sessions, so a single click reproduces your previous export.
Formats
| Format | Use Case |
|---|---|
| Markdown | Pasting into GitHub, GitLab, Notion, Slack threads, or any Markdown-aware editor. Preserves headings and tables. |
| Plain text | Pasting into editors that don't render Markdown (email, ticket comments). |
| AI prompt | A pre-framed prompt around the diagnostic data, ready to drop into ChatGPT, Claude, or your IDE assistant. The wrapper asks the model to analyze the report and suggest causes or fixes. |
| JSON | Programmatic processing, custom dashboards, or feeding into another tool. Stable structure with named keys for every section. |
Actions
Each format supports two actions:
- Copy — Place the export on your clipboard.
- Download — Save the export as a file. Filenames include the report ID and the format extension (
.md,.txt,.prompt.txtfor AI prompt,.json).
Customize Dialog
The Customize entry in the dropdown opens a dialog with a live preview. The left column is a set of toggles; the right column shows the resulting export updating as you flip them.
Section Toggles
Each section can be included or omitted:
- Summary
- Environment (browser, OS, viewport)
- Page context (URL, title, referrer)
- Console output
- Network errors
- User activity
- Storage keys
- Reporter info
Redactions
Three options let you strip noisy or sensitive data before exporting:
- Strip query strings from URLs — Removes everything after
?in the report's page URL, the referrer, and any URLs inside captured network errors. Useful when query strings contain session tokens, search terms, or other ephemeral state. - Truncate console output to the last 100 lines — Useful when an error storm bloated the console capture.
- Strip input values from user activity — The user activity trail records what was typed into fields. This toggle replaces values with placeholders, keeping the field name but dropping the content.
Your toggle and redaction choices persist for the next export.
Per-Section Copy Buttons
In addition to the full-report export, the following cards on the report detail page have their own copy button that puts that section on your clipboard as plain text:
- Description
- Console output
- Network errors
- User activity
- Storage keys
This is faster than opening the export dialog when you only want to share a single excerpt.
Screenshot Downloads
Screenshots can be downloaded directly without going through the export flow:
- From the widget, the thumbnail of a captured screenshot has a download button before the report is submitted, so reporters can keep a local copy.
- On the report detail page, both the screenshot thumbnail and the full-size lightbox view have a download button.
Downloaded screenshots are saved as the original capture (PNG by default), unaffected by the Export Diagnostics format.
