Live debugging

When you build and publish Product Fruits content, you might come across issues like hints not displaying, tours not starting, or checklists not being visible. We have a robust debugger tool that you can use on your live site. This tool will tell you the current state of your Product Fruits content.

The debugger can be used both inside and out of the Product Fruits extension. 

How to start the debugger from the extension icon 

If there is an error in your Product Fruits workflow, the extension will show an option to Debug & Troubleshoot. Simply select this option and you should see the debugger open in the upper-left corner of your browser.
