What kind of feedback is best?

Try to give detailed and actionable feedback. If you have issues, or suggestions for how we can improve, we’d like to hear it.

  • Descriptive title - Descriptive and specific titles help us understand the issue being reported.

  • One issue - Providing feedback for one issue ensures the correct logs and data are received with each submission and can be assigned for follow-up. If you want to give feedback for multiple issues, give feedback for each issue separately. Giving feedback for Separate issues helps us identify the volume of feedback we’re receiving for a particular issue. If you have more than one issue, submit a new feedback request for each issue.
