### Guidelines
|
||

* Please search the existing issues first, it's likely that your issue was already reported or even fixed.
|
||
|
- Go to the main page of the repository, click "issues" and type any word in the top search/command bar.
|
||
|
- You can also filter by appending e. g. "state:open" to the search string.
|
||
|
- More info on [search syntax within github](https://help.github.com/articles/searching-issues)
|
||
|
* __SECURITY__: Report any potential security bug to us following our [security policy](https://github.com/CollaboraOnline/online/security/policy) instead of filing an issue in our bug tracker.
|
||
|
|
||
|
* Report the issue using one of our [templates][templates], they include all the information we need to track down the issue.
|
||
|
|
||
|
Help us to maximize the effort we can spend fixing issues and adding new features, by not reporting duplicate issues.

Please read [README.CONTRIBUTING.md](README.CONTRIBUTING.md). If you can certify it, then just add a line to every git commit message:
|
||
|
|
||
|
````
