  <title>How to report bugs</title>

<p>If you do not need help for configuration but you are sure that you have found a mistake or wrong behavior in the <app>Evolution</app> software, or if you want to request a feature, you can file a report in the <link href="https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/evolution/issues/">GNOME bug tracking system</link>. Note that this requires registration first. Please try to avoid filing duplicates and check the <link href="https://wiki.gnome.org/Community/GettingInTouch/BugReportingGuidelines">bug writing guidelines</link> first.</p><p>Also note that GNOME distributions sometimes introduce their own changes in <app>Evolution</app> that are not included in GNOME <app>Evolution</app>. This is hard to recognize for users but if you are aware of it please file a bug report in <link href="https://wiki.gnome.org/Bugsquad/TriageGuide/NonGnome#Bug_trackers_for_distributions">the bug tracker of your GNOME distribution</link> instead.</p>

<p>When reporting bugs exact information is welcome as it makes it easier for others to reproduce and fix the issue. If possible please include information such as the <app>Evolution</app> version (under <guiseq><gui>Help</gui><gui>About</gui></guiseq>), your distribution, and exact steps to reproduce the problem, click by click. See the <link href="https://wiki.gnome.org/Community/GettingInTouch/BugReportingGuidelines">Bug Writing Guidelines</link> for more information.</p>
