The Debugger lets Creators send requests to a module and inspect the results without publishing. Use it to verify logic, check data changes, and trace component execution.
The Debugger is part of the Dev Overlay Toolbar, the collapsible panel at the bottom of the Unqork platform. To open it, select Debugger from the tool selector in the toolbar, expand the toolbar using the expand icon or by pressing the keyboard shortcut. The Debugger panel only displays when the toolbar is expanded. The Debugger is available in all environments.

The Body tab provides two modes for building the request body.

Add GroupGroups can be expanded or collapsed using the toggle on the left of the group row. Each group displays a field count and its own Add and Add Group controls for nesting content inside it. To delete a group, click the
