Before You Escalate
Use the guided flow above, then make sure you have:
- Checked for updates with the update guide
- Compared your issue against the latest release notes
- Copied the support handoff template with version, OS, reproduction steps, and results
- Reviewed Reporting Bugs if you need help collecting logs or evidence
The fastest support requests include exact version details, a clear reproduction path, and the full error text when available.
If you still need help, start with Discord for triage. When the problem is confirmed as a bug, use Reporting Bugs to decide whether it belongs in Codex Editor issues or Codex application issues.
