Logging

Logging helps us understand the problems that occur while you use reWASD, and find the best solution to help you. There are two types of logs that you can collect and share with us.

To start logging, you need to Run reWASD as administrator first, then open Preferences — General. You will see the Logging menu:

Once you reach out to us with a certain issue, out Support team will tell you what kind of logs we need you to collect.
