How To Access Your Browser Developer Console?

In the world of web development, accessing the browser's developer console is akin to being that detective with a powerful tool at your disposal. Just like a detective needs to examine evidence and clues to solve a case, web developers and designers often need to delve into the inner workings of websites to understand how they function and identify any issues.


For instance, imagine you're working in the MockFlow Editor and encountering an issue where a clickable prototype—like the 'create' button—fails to function as expected. Instead of merely reporting that the 'create' button isn't working, providing a screenshot of the console within the editor can significantly expedite issue resolution. Developers can easily identify and rectify the problem by examining the console output.


Accessing the developer console tools in most modern web browsers is quite straightforward. Here's how you can do it in some commonly used browsers:

  1. Google Chrome
  2. Mozilla Firefox
