5. Device & Browser:

Clean Screenshots: Do's and Don'ts
Screenshots or short screen recordings (Loom, phone video) are extremely helpful, but must follow privacy safety:
✅ What to Include:
- Full browser address bar showing the exact URL.
- The entire error notification or unexpected visual glitch.
- Any error code or status banner displayed on the screen.
❌ What to Redact / Exclude:
- Customer payment card numbers, bank account IBANs, or CVV codes.
- Passwords or master security tokens.
- Private personal ID documents (passports, national IDs).
Quick Self-Checks Before Reporting
Before escalating a report, please verify these two rapid checks:
- Test in Private/Incognito Mode: Does the problem still reproduce in a private window? If not, the issue is caused by a local browser cache or conflicting browser extension.
- Test on a Second Device: Does the problem occur on a smartphone over mobile data as well as on office Wi-Fi? This rules out local office network restrictions.
