What Is an Issue?

An issue is a record used to track a bug, feature request, or task in a project. Platforms such as GitHub let teams define tasks and track progress through issues. This helps everyone see which items need attention.

Issue examples:
- Login page bug
- New search feature
- Documentation update

What Can Issues Track?

Issues are not limited to software bugs. Feature requests, improvement ideas, and tasks can also be created as issues. Each record provides a place to discuss the topic and track its progress.

Bug: Page does not load
Feature: Add dark mode
Task: Update installation guide
