- Enable Collect Winscope traces.
- Under Miscellaneous:
- Enable Attach recordings to bug reports.
- Enable Show Quick Settings tile.
- Navigate to where you need to reproduce the bug.
To start the capture, open Quick Settings and select Record trace:
Figure 1. Quick Setting menu with Record Trace.
Execute only the steps necessary to reproduce the bug.
To stop the capture, open Quick Settings and select Stop tracing.
Share the captured log using one of the options listed, such as Gmail,
Drive, or BetterBug.
