# What's in the diagnostics summary when I contact support?

A short, redacted snapshot of how the app is running — and you can **preview exactly what it contains** before you send. It never includes your file names or the contents of your files.

In the **Contact Support** form, simple toggles let you attach your Storage Studio version, your macOS version and the optional diagnostics. All three are your choice. **Nothing is sent until you tap Send**, and you can close the form without sending.

Support appears to you as “Support Team” with a reference code. See [Getting help](https://storagestudio.us/manual/support).
