Copy report for support copies the lot in one go, with the versions, the upload limit, the AI in use and each show's feed, ready to paste into a support ticket.
The error log:
Below the health check, the Error log shows the last 24 hours of errors, warnings, slow requests and jobs that never finished, kept for 7 days. Keys and private links are blanked out. Filter it with Problems, Never finished or Everything, download it with Download .txt, or empty it with Clear. When nothing is wrong it says Nothing here. All quiet.
A real example:
Before launching on yoursite.com you set the owner email to podcast@yoursite.com, the Join link to https://yoursite.com/join/, your own welcome email words, and The signup form gives to the Client Onboarding Series. You press Save podcast settings once and everything is in place.
Tips:
- Save podcast settings saves the whole player card, including the listener and feed settings below it.
