\title Turn on crash reports
\QC uses Google Crashpad to collect information about crashes and to send it
to \l{Sentry: Security & Compliance}{Sentry} for processing. Crashpad might
capture arbitrary contents from the memory of the crashed process, including
user-sensitive information, URLs, and other content users have trusted
\QC with. However, the crash reports are used for the sole purpose of fixing
software errors.
To turn on crash reports:
\list 1
\li Go to \preferences > \uicontrol Environment > \uicontrol System.
\image qtcreator-preferences-environment-system.webp {System preferences}
\li Select \uicontrol {Enable crash reporting}.
\endlist
To free up disk space that crash reports reserve on the computer,
select \uicontrol {Clear Local Crash Reports}. You can see the
size of the crash reports next to the button.
Select \uicontrol ? to view more information about Crashpad and the security
policy.
