Remote Support
Remote Support allows our support team to connect directly to your computer to better assist with any issue you may encounter.
Remote Support is not compatible with tablets and non Mac or Windows operating systems. This includes, but is not limited to Chromebooks, iPads, and Android Tablets.
The Remote Support application can be found by navigating to help.traxia.com. Click the "Download Remote Support" button and allow the download to complete before navigating to your downloads folder. For more information on the installation process, navigate to the appropriate section below.

The three settings we need to adjust are:
- Accessibility
- Will allow Remote Support to control your mouse and keyboard
- Full Disk Access
- Allows for files like logs or certificates to be copied over from your computer for further troubleshooting
- Screen Recording
- Allows for Remote Support to see your screen
Once you have unlocked the lock and selected a setting, make sure Remote Support is checked in the list to the right.

If Remote Support is not in the list to the right select the + button and navigate to the Applications folder in the new window. Find Remote Support within Applications to add it to the list. Then make sure the checkbox is marked before repeating these steps for Full Disk Access and Screen Recording.
Once you have Remote Support downloaded, open the application from the appropriate location depending on your operating system. Use the section above as reference. Once you launch the application you should see the window shown below. There may be a few permissions windows as well, be sure to accept those. Enter your name and the company name and select "Submit". You will then be placed in the queue for the support team.
Please ensure you have submitted a support ticket as well as opening Remote Support will not add you to the support ticket queue.
