Support & Documentation
Last updated: March 27, 2026
1. Getting Help
Support for all Samurai Labs apps is provided directly by Krisztian Banhidy. We are a small, focused team and take pride in responding personally to every support request.
Include the app name, your Atlassian site URL, and a description of your issue.
You can also reach us via the "Support" link on each app's Atlassian Marketplace listing.
2. Response Times
| Issue Type | Target Response Time |
|---|---|
| Critical issues (app not loading, data loss, security concern) | Within 24 hours |
| General bugs and unexpected behaviour | Within 48 hours |
| Configuration and usage questions | Within 48 hours |
| Feature requests | Within 5 business days |
Response times are measured in calendar hours. We aim to meet these targets for all inquiries regardless of subscription tier. Support is provided in English, Hungarian, and German.
3. What We Support
We provide support for the following types of requests:
- Installation and initial configuration — help getting an app set up correctly for the first time, including admin configuration and permissions.
- Feature usage questions — how to use specific features, where to find settings, and how to interpret results.
- Bug reports — unexpected behaviour, errors, or incorrect data. See Section 6 for how to write an effective bug report.
- Performance issues — slow loading, timeouts, or high SQL usage.
- Feature requests — suggestions for new functionality or improvements. We actively incorporate user feedback into our roadmap.
- Billing questions — we can help you understand your subscription tier, but actual billing changes must go through Atlassian Marketplace. See Section 8.
4. Before Contacting Support
Many common issues can be resolved quickly with these troubleshooting steps. Please try the following before raising a support request:
- Verify you are on the latest app version. Open the Atlassian Marketplace and check that the installed version matches the current listed version. Updates are deployed automatically on Forge, but settings changes sometimes require a refresh.
- Check your Atlassian product version. Our apps require current versions of Jira, Confluence, or Compass (Cloud only). They are not compatible with Atlassian Server or Data Center.
- Clear your browser cache and reload. Many UI glitches are resolved by a hard refresh (Ctrl+Shift+R / Cmd+Shift+R) or clearing cached data.
- Try a different browser or incognito window. Browser extensions (particularly ad blockers and CSP extensions) can interfere with Forge app iframes.
- Check the Atlassian Status page. Platform-level incidents on Atlassian's side will affect all Forge apps. Visit status.atlassian.com to check for ongoing incidents.
- Check your user permissions. Some features require Jira/Confluence admin permissions. Ensure the logged-in user has the required role.
5. Documentation
Each app has a dedicated documentation set hosted on Confluence, covering all features and configuration options. Documentation covers four areas for every app:
- Getting Started — installation, initial configuration, and first-run setup
- Feature Documentation — in-depth guides for every feature
- Admin Configuration Guide — settings, permissions, and integrations
- Troubleshooting FAQ — answers to common questions and known limitations
CostLens
Documentation covers cost entry and allocation, department configuration, currency settings, forecasting, budget management, FinOps dashboards, chargeback reports, multi-site setup, waste detection, and CSV export. Links will be added when published.
GuardRail
Documentation covers audit log configuration, rules engine setup, IP allowlist management, compliance framework selection (HIPAA, PCI DSS, SOC 2, custom), risk scoring, anomaly detection, auto-response workflows, executive dashboard, and webhook integration.
SmartTag for Jira
Documentation covers AI tagging configuration, taxonomy governance, confidence thresholds, undo and activity logs, bulk rename, usage analytics, template management, duplicate detection, and multi-language support.
SmartTag for Confluence
Documentation covers auto-labeling setup, taxonomy management, quality scoring, content classification, inheritance rules, bulk operations, knowledge graph, gap detection, lifecycle policies, Rovo action integration, and cross-space standards.
PagePulse
Documentation covers health scoring configuration, link checking, ownership assignment, review cycles, archival workflows, engagement tracking, Jira sync, stale page detection, digest notifications, space health dashboards, and the global dashboard.
ServiceCost
Documentation covers CSV import setup, scorecard configuration, cost allocation, tag management, showback reports, environment tracking, budget approvals, anomaly detection, and Compass component sync.
6. Reporting a Bug
Good bug reports help us fix issues faster. When reporting a bug, please include as much of the following as possible:
- App name and version (visible in the app's admin settings or Marketplace listing)
- Atlassian product and version (e.g., Jira Cloud, Confluence Cloud)
- Your Atlassian site URL (e.g.,
yourcompany.atlassian.net) - Steps to reproduce — a precise, numbered sequence of actions that triggers the bug
- Expected behaviour — what you expected to happen
- Actual behaviour — what actually happened (include any error messages verbatim)
- Screenshots or screen recordings — particularly helpful for UI bugs
- Browser and version (e.g., Chrome 133, Firefox 135)
- User role — are you a Jira/Confluence admin, or a regular user?
The more detail you provide, the faster we can diagnose and fix the issue. Send bug reports to support@banhidy.hu.
7. Feature Requests
We genuinely welcome feature requests — many of the most useful features in our apps came directly from user feedback. To suggest a feature:
- Email support@banhidy.hu with the subject "Feature Request: [App Name]"
- Describe the feature you want and the problem it would solve
- Include your use case — even brief context helps us prioritise correctly
We review all feature requests and incorporate them into our planning. We cannot guarantee implementation timelines, but we will acknowledge every request and let you know if it is on our roadmap.
8. Billing & Subscriptions
All billing and subscription management for Samurai Labs apps is handled exclusively by Atlassian Marketplace. This includes:
- Subscription upgrades and downgrades
- Invoice generation and payment processing
- Refund requests
- Billing cycle and renewal management
- License seat count adjustments
For billing issues, contact Atlassian support directly. We are not able to modify subscriptions, process payments, or issue refunds from our side — all of these actions must go through Atlassian.
If you have a question about which subscription tier is right for your team's needs, we are happy to advise — email us at support@banhidy.hu.
