Reporter (Azure)

About

Reporter (Azure) lets your team capture bugs, user stories and issues directly from any web page and submit them to your own Azure DevOps project — without ever leaving the page.

═══════════════════════════════════════════
WHAT IT DOES
═══════════════════════════════════════════

- Click any element on any web page and report it as a Bug, User Story or Issue
- Annotate with title, severity (for bugs) and reproduction steps
- Auto-capture a screenshot of the page with the picked element highlighted
- See existing reports as color-coded badges directly on the page
  — red = Bug, blue = User Story, orange = Issue
- Click a badge to open an in-page detail modal with comments, attachments and inline title editing
- Add new comments and screenshots to existing reports without leaving the page
- Filter reports by author ("Only my") and search by ID or author name
- Navigate between reports on a page using arrow keys or in-modal nav buttons
- Apply a report to a whole web (URL pattern) instead of a single page

═══════════════════════════════════════════
AVAILABLE IN 7 LANGUAGES
═══════════════════════════════════════════

English, Čeština, Deutsch, Español (LATAM), Français, Polski, Português (Brasil).
Switch language anytime in Settings — the entire popup, in-page picker, modals and toasts re-render in the chosen language.

═══════════════════════════════════════════
HOW IT WORKS
═══════════════════════════════════════════

1. Open Settings (gear icon) and enter:
   • Your Azure DevOps organization and project
   • A Personal Access Token (PAT) with Work Items (Read, Write & Manage) scope
   • (Optional) A base URL pattern so the extension auto-scans matching pages and shows existing reports as badges

2. On any page, click the extension icon → "Add report"

3. Hover and click an element on the page

4. A floating panel lets you navigate to a parent element if needed, or toggle "whole-web scope"

5. Click "Continue" → a modal opens with all fields pre-filled, a screenshot preview and a live Azure DevOps preview

6. Submit. You'll get a link to the created work item.

═══════════════════════════════════════════
PRIVACY & SECURITY
═══════════════════════════════════════════

- Your PAT is stored locally in your browser, never sent anywhere except dev.azure.com
- All Azure DevOps communication uses HTTPS
- No analytics, no tracking, no third-party services other than Azure DevOps and Google Fonts (for typography)
- Recommended: use a PAT with minimum scope (Work Items only) and short expiration (30–90 days)

See the privacy policy for full details.

═══════════════════════════════════════════
