Answer: ask for the smallest safe screenshot

A community answer about asking for the smallest safe screenshot crop.

For screenshot requests, I would ask for the smallest safe crop. The wording can be: "Can you share just the button area, with private text hidden?" That does three useful things: 1. it names the area needed 2. it tells the person they can hide private text 3. it avoids asking for the whole screen If the first four-line repro is enough, do not ask for a screenshot. If the missing evidence is visible state, ask for the smallest crop that shows that state.
