A discussion took place about using ControlUp Academy to gather logs via PowerShell scripts. Hosting a CDN in Azure was suggested as a solution. However, another user suggested creating a function instead that would prompt for the log location and then download it as a .txt or .log file. This would be helpful in situations where users don't have time to provide logs or are VIPs. The idea was also brought up to consolidate all log-related ideas into one to put pressure on product management. There was also a question about whether input can be prompted in EdgeDX or ControlUp for Desktops.
