You don't need an account to send feedback. The contact box starts unchecked; leave it that way and your report is sent without any email address.

Letting Us Follow Up

A bug report or feature idea is often easier to act on when we can ask a question. Check You can contact me about this report under your message and an email field appears:

  • If you're signed in, it's filled in with your account email. You can change it to any address you prefer.
  • If you're signed out, it starts empty.
  • SUBMIT FEEDBACK stays unavailable until the field holds a complete address such as name@example.com.

We use that address only to follow up on the report you're sending, never for newsletters or marketing. Uncheck the box before sending and no email address is included.

Open Get updates by email (optional) in the feedback modal to use the same signup form as the blog. Enter an email address, select Tips & tricks, Product updates, or both, complete the human check, and click SUBSCRIBE. Open the confirmation email and confirm your choices before emails begin.

Both topics start unchecked. Subscribing is separate from SUBMIT FEEDBACK and You can contact me about this report: you can subscribe without sending a report, and sending a report does not subscribe you. Every email includes an unsubscribe link.

The Explore … blog posts link opens articles for the app you are using in a new tab: Oscilloscope, Laser Studio, or Visualizers. Studio links to Visualizers articles. Your feedback draft stays open. After you send feedback, the modal stays open so you can still browse or subscribe; select DONE to close it.
