# Report a problem

Excap has two different feedback paths:

- Use **Help → Feedback** for a suggestion or general comment.
- Use the **Bug** button on the lower-right of **RP1** when a specific tracking problem happens.

## Method 1: send a diagnostic problem report

### 0. Check Diagnostic recording and saved/upload state

Open **Setting → General** and find **Diagnostic recording**. Check whether recording is enabled and whether **Saved diagnostic reports** contains an earlier report waiting to upload.

Enable Diagnostic recording once

1. Open **Setting → General**.
2. Find **Diagnostic recording**.
3. Read the terms and choose **Agree and enable**.

It does not record camera images, desktop video, passwords or network addresses. The snapshot is kept locally after Excap closes. Sending a report uploads it for R&amp;D troubleshooting; the terms shown by the app explain retention and access.

If you choose **Decline**, tracking still works, but the RP1 Bug button stays hidden.

### 2. Click Bug when the problem happens

1. Leave the problem visible if it is safe to do so.
2. Open **RP1** and click the **Bug** icon in the lower-right corner.

It appears only after Diagnostic recording is enabled.

### 3. Describe and send the problem

Choose the closest tags, such as **Tracking lost**, **Drift / rotation**, **Camera calibration**, or **Wrong position**. Write what you were doing, the last step that worked and what changed just before the problem. Then click **Send report**.

Do not put Wi-Fi passwords, personal contact details, or other private information in the description. If the upload cannot start, retry it from **Setting → General → Saved diagnostic reports**.

## Method 2: send general feedback

Open **Help** at the lower-left, then choose **Feedback**.

Use it for ideas, feature requests, documentation comments or anything that does not need motion diagnostics.

Adding an email or Discord name is optional.

For a short report, use this pattern:

&gt; I was doing **\[step\]**. The last thing that worked was **\[check\]**. Then I saw **\[message/result\]**. It happened **\[once/every time\]** after **\[change, if any\]**.
