Enable bug reporting in your widget

Updated May 22, 2026

Yaplet's bug reporting is the fastest way for visitors to tell you something is broken. One click from the widget and the report is packaged with a screenshot, session replay, console logs, network logs, and device metadata — no manual copying or describing required. This article shows you how to add the bug reporting button to your widget's home screen.

1. Open widget settings

In your Yaplet dashboard, go to Widgets in the left navigation. Click the widget you want to configure.

2. Add a bug report card to the Home screen

  1. Inside the widget editor, open the Home tab.
  2. Click Add card (or the plus icon in the home screen preview).
  3. Set the card type to Form / Bug Report.
  4. Choose the Bug icon so visitors recognise the button.
  5. Set a label, for example "Report a bug" or "Something broken?".
  6. In the form field, link the card to your bug form. If you haven't set up a bug board and form yet, create a new board with type Bug and attach a form to it first.

3. Save and publish

Click Save. The bug report button appears on your widget's home screen immediately for all visitors on pages where the widget is installed.

What visitors see

When a visitor clicks the button, they're shown a short form (description + optional screenshot annotation). They can draw on the screenshot to highlight the problem area before submitting. Everything else — session replay, console logs, network logs, device metadata — is captured automatically in the background.
