Integrating and Showing Instabug

To be able to use Instabug's Bug Reporting and Feedback product, you must first integrate the SDK. You should also understand how to show the SDK.

Your users and beta testers can show Instabug Bug Reporting from any page in your app. When they select "Report a bug", "Suggest an improvement", or "Ask a question" from the default Prompt Options menu that pops up when they show Instabug, these reports are sent to the bugs page of your dashboard with all the information and logs you need to pinpoint any issues. More details can be found in the following sections:

1. Report Types & Content
This section details what you can expect with every bug, improvement, or question, such as logs and attachments, as well as how to require users to enter their emails or enter comments.
