Debug your Next Experience instance to detect and remove existing and potential errors in your Next Experience components and scripts.

## Before you begin

Role required: admin

## Procedure

1. Navigate to User MenuPreferencesDebugging.
2. Select one of the debugging options.  
   {#next-experience-debugging-preferences__table_k23_qnk_gsb__entry__2}

   | Field | Description |
   |-|-|
   | Script Debugger | Opens a JavaScript debugger with a script tracer and a session log. For more information, see [Debugging scripts](https://www.servicenow.com/docs/access?context=script-debug-overview&version=australia&pubname=australia-api-reference&ft:locale=en-US). |
   | UX Source Maps | Enables you to perform debugging using UX source maps in your browser. For example, when used with Firefox v102+, the user can set a break point in component code and, when the browser stops at that break point, variable names should appear in the scope section. Note: When you are not debugging using UX source maps, it is best to toggle this user preference off as it can cause performance degradation of the instance. |
   | Automated Test Framework Page Inspector | Enables you to identify and inspect pages created in classic custom UI pages using the page inspector. For more information, see [Page Inspector](https://www.servicenow.com/docs/access?context=atf-page-inspector&version=australia&pubname=australia-application-development&ft:locale=en-US). |
   | Seismic Developer Tool | Opens a link to the Chrome web store Seismic Developer Tools download page. The Seismic Dev Tools (SDT) Chrome Extension is a tool that helps Seismic developers effectively identify, diagnose, and resolve defects and performance issues. Note: This option can be removed from the Debugging user preferences by setting the glide.ui.next_experience.seismic_developer_tool_user_pref_enabled system property to false. |
