If you’re here for help with an error or issue, there are a few things you can do to get good answers as quickly as possible.

  • Search for similar topics. Using an existing answer is much faster than waiting for new responses.

  • Include relevant details when asking for help.

    • Describe your goal and what problem is preventing you from achieving it.
    • Tell us about the app (i.e. framework, packages, database type).
    • Include any debugging steps you have already tried so others know what to skip.
    • A minimal reproducible example is often helpful for collaborative debugging.
    • A publicly accessible link to your v0 chat.
    • A video can help you show the problem if it’s difficult for others to replicate. There are lots of tools available to help with this, including

  • Some topics are too sensitive for public discussion. If you have a question related to account issues (e.g. login, signup, invoices, or billing), please visit our contact guide.

  • Please be respectful in all conversations. Everyone is here here to learn and improve. No one knows all of the right terminology when first learning a new thing, and English is not everyone’s first language. Please be patient :folded_hands:

  • Share updates when you discover new details about the problem or find a solution. This helps others who are investigating the problem alongside you. And it creates a public resource for other developers who run into similar problems in the future.

if a description of the issue or the workflow is non trivial to reproduce, then always use a video clip to demonstrate the issue. I use the excellent loom service and suggest this recommendation is added: https://www.loom.com

I think ask people to share their chat history also, that way, staff / community can see there are prompting issues.
