Why we may ask for a screenshot

If something in Navexa doesn’t look right, a screenshot gives our team the context we need to help.

A good screenshot can show:

  • Which portfolio you’re in

  • Which page, holding, or report you’re viewing

  • Any filters, date ranges, or tabs that are active

  • The exact error message, warning, or result you’re seeing

What to include in your screenshot

When possible, include as much of the Navexa platform as you can rather than sending a very tight crop.

This helps us see the full context around the issue, including:

  • The portfolio name

  • The relevant page title

  • Any selected date range

  • Any active filters

  • The affected holding, trade, or report

  • The full error message or unexpected result

If the issue relates to a specific portfolio, please keep that portfolio visible in the screenshot.

If the issue relates to a specific holding or trade, try to include both the problem area and the surrounding page so we can see where it appears in Navexa.

What not to include

Please do not include sensitive information that isn’t needed for troubleshooting.

Before sending a screenshot, check that it does not show:

  • Passwords

  • Backup codes

  • Full payment card details

  • Private information unrelated to the issue

How to take a screenshot on macOS

On Mac, the fastest way to capture part of your screen and copy it straight to your clipboard is to press Command (⌘) + Control + Shift + 4.

Steps for Mac

  • Press Command (⌘) + Control + Shift + 4

  • Your cursor will turn into a crosshair

  • Click and drag to select the part of the screen you want to capture

  • Release your mouse or trackpad

  • Open your message to Navexa Support and paste the screenshot with Command + V

How to take a screenshot on Windows

On Windows, the fastest way to capture a selected area is to press Windows key + Shift + S.

Steps for Windows

  • Press Windows key + Shift + S

  • Your screen will dim and the Snipping Tool menu will appear

  • Select Rectangular Snip

  • Click and drag to capture the area you want

  • Release your mouse

  • Open your message to Navexa Support and paste the screenshot with Ctrl + V

How to send the screenshot to Navexa Support

Once you’ve taken the screenshot:

  • Click into the chat or email reply

  • Paste the image using Command + V on Mac or Ctrl + V on Windows

  • Add a short note telling us what looks wrong

A short explanation alongside the screenshot is helpful, such as:

  • “This is the portfolio I’m in”

  • “This holding is showing the wrong value”

  • “This error appears when I click Save

Tips for the most useful screenshot

A useful screenshot is usually one that shows the full Navexa context, not just the error itself.

For the best result:

  • Keep the relevant Navexa page visible

  • Include the portfolio name where possible

  • Include any filters or date ranges

  • Show the full message or issue, not just part of it

  • Send two screenshots if needed: one with the full page context and one zoomed in on the issue
