Contacting Pipedrive support

If you can't see the 'Talk to us' button in the help centre (see gif below) it's likely caused by the privacy settings in your browser. Some browsers, such as Firefox in Private Browsing Mode, have privacy modes, as well as some browser extensions such as&nbsp;uBlock, Ghostery, Adblock, and NoScript may prevent chat from loading.
This means you're not able to get in touch in the App, which means we can't give you the best support we can.
To access in-app chat, please either whitelist Pipedrive, or use a browser that doesn't have privacy mode enabled by default.
If you do this and are still unable to see the button in the gif below, please get in touch via email to&nbsp;<a href="https://support.pipedrive.commailto:support@pipedrive.com" target="_blank" data-type="zendeskArticle" data-language="en">support@pipedrive.com</a>&nbsp;explaining your issue and we'll do our best to get back to you as soon as possible!

What if Pipedrive Support is not available in the app?

When working with Pipedrive, you may need to take a screenshot of a specific question or issue you have within the Pipedrive app.
In order to best serve you, we have provided information on how to take screenshots within the operating systems or apps that&nbsp;support Pipedrive. 
<div class="support-note primary">
Note: When taking a screenshot, please be sure to include as much detail as possible, particularly making sure the URL is visible at the top of the screen, the user logged in is visible in the top right corner of the screen, and if any filters are applied the filter menu is visible on applicable pages&nbsp;(on the Pipeline or List views for example).</div>

<h2>
<a name="C1IamCs"></a>&nbsp;1.&nbsp;Windows desktop operating systems</h2>
To take a screenshot on a Windows desktop operating system, press the Print Screen button on your keyboard. The exact location of this button varies from keyboard to keyboard — and between PC and laptop — but it's usually quite easy to find and is often abbreviated as Print Scrn, Prnt Scrn, or Prt Scrn. With most PC keyboards it can be found on the top row of keys, in the row after F12.
Once you have pressed this button, open up the Paint program in Windows. This can be done by searching using the Find Program function, or by browsing through your Programs list.
Once the Paint programmed as been opened, press CTRL+V to paste the screenshot within Paint.
<img src="https://support.pipedrive.com/hc/en-us/article_attachments/115000802049/Screenshot1.png" alt="" width="601" height="338"> Once done, save this pasted screenshot to your computer. To save, click the Save button under the File menu in the top left of the paint menu.&nbsp;
<img src="https://support.pipedrive.com/hc/en-us/article_attachments/115000811665/Screenshot_2.png" alt="">
Once saved, you can attach the saved image to an email and send it over.
Alternatively, if your screenshot contains data you do not wish to share, you can crop the picture within the Paint program before sending it. To do so, first click the Selection box from the menu at the top of the Paint program.
<img src="https://support.pipedrive.com/hc/en-us/article_attachments/115000811705/Screenshot_crop1.png" alt="">
Once done, draw a box around what you would like to&nbsp;remain in the image, then clicking Crop from the same menu:
<img src="https://support.pipedrive.com/hc/en-us/article_attachments/115000811725/Screenshot_crop3.png" alt="">
This will remove everything from the image except the area you have selected.
Keep in mind that, in some cases, it is very useful for us to see the web address or URL when trying to help you solve certain issues. In those situations, we may ask that the screenshot include that information, to help us troubleshoot or diagnose issues. 
<hr>
<h2>
<a name="C2IamCs"></a> 2. macOS desktop operating systems</h2>
In order to take a screenshot with a Mac, just press CMD+SHIFT+3.
<img src="https://support.pipedrive.com/hc/en-us/article_attachments/115000655729/Screen_Shot_2017-01-09_at_15.05.08.png" alt="">
Doing so will save a screenshot of your full screen to your desktop. From there, you can just attach that screen in an email and send it over!
Alternatively, if you have some data you do not wish to share with Pipedrive, you can take a screenshot of a specific area within your screen. To highly a specific selection, press CMD+SHIFT+4 and draw a box around the information that you wish to save in your screenshot. 
Keep in mind that, in some cases, it is very useful for us to see the web address or URL when trying to help you solve certain issues. In those situations, we may ask that the screenshot include that information, to help us troubleshoot or diagnose issues. 
<hr>
<h2>
<a name="C3IamCs"></a> 3. iOS mobile operating systems (iPad/iPhone)</h2>
To take a screenshot with your iPad or iPhone, simply press both the Power button (either at the top or on the side) and the Home button (the round button on the front) at the same time.
The screenshot will then be saved into your Photos, and is ready to attach to an email and send to us. You can find it under the 'All photos' folder.&nbsp;

<hr>
<h2>
<a name="C4IamCs"></a> 4. Android mobile operating systems</h2>
With most Android devices, pressing the Power and Volume Down buttons together will take a screenshot of contents of the screen.
The screenshot will then be saved into your Photos, ready to be sent to us.&nbsp;The specific folder that the screenshot will be saved in will depend on the device you're using.&nbsp;If you cannot find the picture — or if pressing Power and Volume Down doesn't take a screenshot — it may be best to search the internet for specific instructions for your phone model.

How do I open my browser console?

<a href="https://www.google.com/chrome/" target="_blank">Google Chrome</a> and <a href="https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/new/" target="_blank">Firefox</a> will provide the best experiences when using Pipedrive.&nbsp;We recommend staying away from common default browsers, such as Internet Explorer, Edge, and Safari, as they may cause performance issues.&nbsp;
It's important to make sure your browser is on the latest version for optimal rendering. You can view the following documentation to learn how to update the recommended browsers:
<ul>

</ul>

Which browser is best for Pipedrive?

Browser 

Pipedrive doesn't have a separate desktop app, and can only be used online within a web browser. However, both the Pipedrive iOS and Android mobile apps allow for working offline. Any changes made without an internet connection to the mobile apps will be updated in the Pipedrive database once you have connected to the internet again.&nbsp;&nbsp;

Can Pipedrive be used offline?

Occasionally, we may need you to send the raw source of an email to help with troubleshooting email issues. This information doesn't come from Pipedrive, but from your email provider. Below, you'll find instructions for the most common providers — Gmail and Outlook. To find your raw source information for an email within Gmail, open the email in question, and click on the downward arrow for your available options. From there, click Show original to see the raw source information of that email. <img src="https://kb-cms.pipedriveassets.com/raw_data_gmail.png" alt="raw_data_gmail.png" width="931" height="319"> To find your raw source information for an email in Outlook, and right-click on the email.

Viewing the raw source of my emails in Pipedrive

Let's say that instead of working with&nbsp;Deals you'd prefer to be working with Projects. While terms like&nbsp;Deals&nbsp;and&nbsp;People can't be natively replaced in Pipedrive, there is a free third-party workaround that may accomplish what you seek.&nbsp;&nbsp;
Try downloading a plugin called <a href="https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/word-replacer-ii/djakfbefalbkkdgnhkkdiihelkjdpbfh" target="_blank">World Replacer II</a> for the Google Chrome browser. Here is how to set it up, and what it would look like:<a href="http://screencast.com/t/9AGeliqWUlO" target="_blank"> </a>

Troubleshooting the Calendar Sync feature

When using the Contact Sync feature, you may run into some technical issues. It is recommended that you ensure your Contact Sync feature is active before following the troubleshooting steps outlined below.&nbsp;
<h2>If contacts are missing...</h2>
<ul>
<li>Check for any filters. In the List View under your People contacts tab, check to see if there are any filters applied. To clear out any existing filters, switch over to Owners &gt; Everyone under the filters button in the top right corner. <img src="https://kb-cms.pipedriveassets.com/Screen_Shot_2019-05-17_at_4.56.54_PM.png" alt="Screen_Shot_2019-05-17_at_4.56.54_PM.png" width="301" height="71"> 
</li>
<li>
