Need Support?

Whether you've found a bug, need help with installation, have a feature request, or want to know how to use Arelle, we can help! Here's a quick guide:

When reporting issues it's important to include as much information as possible:

• what version of Arelle are you using?
• how are you using Arelle (GUI, command line, web server, or the Python API?)
• what operating system (Windows, macOS, Ubuntu, etc.) are you using?
• what plugins if any do you have enabled?
• can you provide an XBRL report that recreates the issue?
• what's the diagnostics output (arelleCmdLine.exe --diagnostics) on your system?

Arelle Within Other Products

A number of service providers embed Arelle within their XBRL products and tools. If you're having an issue with Arelle within one of these offerings please contact the developer of that tool for support or first verify that you have the same issue when using Arelle directly. Most issues in these situations are caused by the tool using an old version of Arelle or not running a valid command.

EDGAR or EFM Validations

The SEC develops and maintains the EDGAR plugins. Please report issues with these plugins directly to the SEC ([e-mail]).

Installing or Running Arelle

Most installation and startup issues can be resolved by downloading the latest version of Arelle and performing a clean install. If that doesn't resolve the problem for you, please report a bug.

Bug Report or Feature Request

Please use the GitHub issue tracker if you'd like to suggest a new feature or report a bug.

Before opening a new issue, please:

• Check that the issue has not already been reported.
• Check that the issue has not already been fixed in the latest release.
• Be clear and precise (do not prose, but name functions and commands exactly).
• For bug reports include the version of Arelle you're using.

Security Vulnerabilities

Identified a security concern? Email the Arelle team ([e-mail]) so we can resolve the issue and make sure service providers and authorities who use Arelle in production are prepared to update and apply security patches before notifying the general public.

How-To and General XBRL Questions

Have a question that isn't covered by the documentation? Join our Arelle Google Group and start a conversation with the Arelle team and community of experts.

Email

The Arelle team can also be reached by email ([e-mail]) for issues that aren't a good fit for the other support channels. However, please note that you will likely receive a faster response if you open a GitHub issue or start a new conversation in the Arelle Google Group where the Arelle team is active and other people within the community can also see and respond to your message.
