Beta Strategy & Diagnostics

Because Adobe UXP plugins interact with local application layers, unexpected edge cases (e.g., empty selections or document format mismatches) are caught by the integrated diagnostic logging system:

• Access Settings > Diagnostics Log to inspect live execution logs.
• Click Send Error Report to MuAPI to copy or upload diagnostic trace logs when user issues are reported.
