General Troubleshooting
Before trying our general tips, check if the error you're experiencing is specific to one of the following areas:
- File Uploads: Uploading Files to Harvey
- Word Add-in: Harvey for Word: Troubleshooting Issues
- SharePoint/OneDrive: SharePoint/OneDrive Integration Troubleshooting
- Network, Firewall, or VPN: Configure Network and Security Appliances for Harvey
If an error is unclear or the issue persists, we recommend following these general troubleshooting steps:
- Clear your browser cache and cookies. Cached data can interfere with Vault operations, causing upload or query issues.
- Search for instructions to clear cache and cookies in your browser. For example, “how to clear cache and cookies in [your browser].”
- Refresh your browser to ensure the most updated page is loaded.
- Press Ctrl + Shift + R (Windows) or Cmd + Shift + R (Mac).
- Disconnect from any active VPNs. Some VPN configurations may block access to Vault’s features or Harvey’s data processing servers.
- If disabling the VPN resolved the issue, reach out to your IT team to ensure Harvey is whitelisted and prevent reoccurrence.
- Ensure all pop-ups and cookies are enabled and no browser extensions are interfering with Harvey.
- Search for instructions on enabling pop-ups and cookies in your browser. For example, “how to enable pop ups and cookies in [browser name].”
- Try accessing using a different browser. Recommended browsers:
- Google Chrome (latest version)
- Mozilla Firefox (latest version)
- Check your connection. If you're seeing slow load times, timeouts, or connection errors, run our connectivity test before contacting Support:
- Select Initiate Test to confirm your network can reach Harvey's API, app, and login (Auth0) services.
- Select Run Speed Test to check latency, download, and upload speed.
- If anything fails, share a screenshot with Support. This quickly tells us whether a firewall, VPN, or proxy (e.g., Zscaler) is blocking or slowing your connection.
