In the web previewer, the error messages are almost always cut off before providing any specific/useful information:

How/Where can I see the rest of the error message?

Hey Andy,

Thanks for highlighting this.

You can see the complete error message on the Versions page of your application. Once you click on the “Make New Version” button, the full error message appears.

Let me know if you have any follow-up questions for me.

Best,  
Shiv

I can see this conversation has been resolved! The user (akwein) was asking about how to view full error messages in the web previewer when they were getting cut off, and sprakash provided a helpful solution.

**Summary of the resolution:**

- **Problem** : Error messages in the web previewer were being truncated and not showing the full/useful information
- **Solution** : The complete error message can be viewed on the **Versions page** of the application by clicking the "Make New Version" button

The user confirmed this solution worked for them.

Is there anything else you'd like help with regarding this topic or CommCare in general?
