If you experience any issues with PandaDoc, these basic troubleshooting steps can help fix browser-related problems.
Incognito mode
The easiest way to check whether an issue is browser-related is to repeat the actions in an incognito (private) window.
Incognito mode operates in a separate window. It disables the cache and extensions without the need to alter your actual browser window.
Note: You’ll need to log in to PandaDoc in an incognito window.
Chrome
Open an incognito window using these shortcuts:
Windows: Ctrl + Shift + N
Mac: Command + Shift + N
Alternatively, select the ellipsis (three dots) in the top right, then "New Incognito Window."
Safari
You can open a private window by pressing Shift + Command + N, or by selecting "File" in the menu at the top of the page, then "New Private Window."
Microsoft Edge
Open an incognito window using these shortcuts:
Windows: Ctrl + Shift + N.
Mac: Command + Shift + N.
Alternatively, select the ellipsis (three dots) in the top right, then "New InPrivate Window."
Firefox
Open an incognito window using these shortcuts:
Windows: Ctrl + Shift + P
Mac: Command + Shift + P
Alternatively, select the menu button at the top right, then “New Private Window.”
Opera
Open an incognito window using these shortcuts:
Windows: Ctrl + Shift + N
Mac: Command + Shift + N
Alternatively, right-click on the Opera icon, then select "New Private Window."
If everything works fine in the incognito window and you can no longer reproduce the issue, clearing browser data may help solve the issue in your browser tab.
Clearing browser data
Clearing your browser cache can help remedy performance issues with PandaDoc, especially slowness and glitches. This also applies to cases when a problem arises in a PandaDoc modal window within a CRM.
Chrome
Select the ellipsis (three dots) in the top right, go to “More Tools,” then select “Clear Browser Data”
In the pop-up, select "All time" at the top, then "Cached images and files"
Select "Clear data"
Note: After clearing data, you’ll need to log in to PandaDoc again.
Safari
On a Mac, select "Safari" in the menu bar at the top right, then "Preferences."
In the Preferences window, navigate to the "Privacy" tab, then select "Manage website data."
Here you’ll see all sites that store your data and cookies. Select "Remove all," then confirm by selecting "Remove now."
Microsoft Edge
Select the ellipsis (three dots) in the top right of the browser, then “Settings”
In the new window, select "Privacy, Search, and Services"
Next, scroll down to "Clear browsing data" and select "Choose what to clear"
Finally, select "All time" from the drop-down menu, then "Cached images and files," then "Clear now"
Firefox
Select the Menu icon at the top right, then "Settings"
Go to "Privacy & Security," then navigate to the “Cookies and Site Data” section
Select "Clear data"
Select "Cached Web Content," then "Clear"
Opera
Select the Settings gear icon at the bottom of the left panel.
Under the “Privacy and security” tab, select “Clear browsing data.”
In the pop-up window, choose the “Basic” tab, select “All time” at the top, leave only the "Cached images and files" option checked, then select "Clear data"
Updating your browser
For smooth performance, we recommend using the most recent version of your browser. Find more information about supported browsers here.
Chrome
To check if Chrome needs to be updated, open the browser and look in the top right corner. When you see the “Update” button near the ellipsis (three dots), an update is required.
If you don't see this button, select the vertical ellipsis, hover over “Help”, then select “About Google Chrome.” Your browser will then check for an update and automatically begin installing it. Select “Relaunch” to complete the update.
Note: If you don’t see an “Update Google Chrome” button, you have the latest version.
Safari
The most recent version of macOS automatically includes the latest version of Safari. Make sure you regularly update your macOS.
To check if your macOS is up to date, select the Apple menu in the top left corner of your screen, then “System preferences.” “Software Update” will then open in a pop-up window.
Next, click the “Update Now” or “Upgrade Now” button to install the latest version of macOS.
Note: Updating might take up to an hour.
Firefox
Select the Menu icon at the top right, then “Settings.” Go to the “General” tab, scroll down to “Firefox Updates,” then select “Check for updates.” If you have the latest version, you will see a message that says “Firefox is up to date.”
Additionally, you can allow Firefox to automatically install updates (this is recommended). You can also select “Check for updates,” with the option to choose if you’d like to install them.
Opera
On Mac, select Opera in the menu bar (or the red Opera icon in the top left, if you use Windows), then “Update & Recovery”. Next, select “Check for Update.” If the browser doesn’t require an update, you’ll see “Opera is up to date.”
In case an update is necessary, it will be downloaded automatically. Simply select “Update” once the update is downloaded.
Allowing third-party cookies
If you're using PandaDoc with a CRM, third-party cookies must be allowed for the integration to work correctly.
Chrome
Select the ellipsis (three dots) in the top right, then select “Settings.”
In the “Privacy and Security” tab, select “Cookies and other site data,” then "Allow all cookies.”
Safari
On your Mac, in the top menu, select “Safari” and go to Preferences. In the new window, click the Privacy tab, then uncheck “Block all cookies.”
Additionally, you may need to allow cross-site tracking in Safari. On your Mac, in the top menu, select “Safari” and go to Preferences. In the new window, click the Privacy tab, then uncheck “Prevent cross-site tracking.”
Microsoft Edge
Select the ellipsis (three dots) icon in the top right of the browser, then select “Settings.”
Under “Cookies and Site permissions,” select “Manage and delete cookies and site data,” then turn off “Block third-party cookies.”

Allowing pop-ups and redirects
