## What is the Issues tab?

The Issues tab is a dedicated section on your Actor’s page where signed-in users can report problems, share feedback, ask questions, and have conversations with you. You can manage each issue thread individually, and the whole thread is visible to everyone. The tab is divided into three categories: **Open**, **Closed**, and **All**, and it shows how long each response has been there. While only signed-in users can post and reply, all visitors can see the interactions, giving your page a transparent and welcoming vibe.

🕑 On the web, your average 🕑 **Response time** is calculated and shown in your Actor Metrics. The purpose of this metric is to make it easy for potential users to see how active you are and how well-maintained the Actor is.

You can view all the issues related to your Actors by going to **Actors** > [**Issues**](https://console.apify.com/actors?tab=issues) in the Apify Console. Users can get automatic updates on their reported issues or subscribe to issues they are interested in, so they stay informed about any responses. When users report an issue, they’re encouraged to share their run, which helps you get the full context and solve the problem more efficiently. Note that shared runs aren’t visible on the public Actor page.

The tab is essentially just a series of conversations between you and your users. There are existing systems like GitHub for that. So why create a separate system like an Issues tab? Since the Issues tab exists both in private space (Console) and public space (Actor's page on the web), it can fulfill two different sets of purposes.

When we made the tab public, we took inspiration from StackOverflow’s SEO strategy. Even though StackOverflow started as a Q&A forum, its strong SEO has been key to its success. Similarly, your Actor’s Issues tab can help bring in more traffic, with each question and answer potentially generating more visibility. This makes it easier for users to find solutions quickly.

Respond quickly, even if it’s just a short note. Even if an issue takes weeks to resolve, keep the user in the loop. A quick update prevents frustration and shows the user (and others following it) that you’re actively working on solving the issue.
