5-minute quick start: your first report with the extension
This is the shortest path to a complete report: capture a region, mark the problem, share the link.
Before you start
Section titled “Before you start”- The extension is installed and pinned to the toolbar — see the Installation guide
- Recommended but not required: sign in to the console so reports carry your name — which makes later follow-up with colleagues much easier — and retention goes from 30 days to 90
Capture
Section titled “Capture”Open the page you want to report, launch BugCapturer from the toolbar, drag a rectangle around the problem area, confirm and annotate.
Annotate
Section titled “Annotate”Mark the problem clearly — a picture with an arrow beats a paragraph:
- Rectangle (default), arrow, pen and text, in two marker colours
- Annotations can be dragged to reposition them; undo when a stroke goes wrong
- Console errors and failed requests from the page are already collected and attached — no need to copy them out of DevTools
Write the description
Section titled “Write the description”Describe what you found: what you did, what you expected, what actually happened.
Choose a destination: (optional) when an integration is configured in the backend, the report is delivered into that system automatically.
Click share and a public URL is generated immediately — anyone can open it in a browser, with no extension and no account required.
Afterwards
Section titled “Afterwards”- The link opens a read-only view of the report — status, annotations and technical context at a glance
- Reports routed to an integration appear in that system within seconds; if nothing shows up there, check Delivery logs & retries
- Everything you have shared is listed in the console under “Feedback” and can be deleted at any time
About link lifetime
Section titled “About link lifetime”Anonymous shares are kept 30 days, signed-in shares 90 days, and long-term for paid users. Details: Data flow, storage & retention.
