+title: Using the Personas Source Debugger
+---
+
+Using the Personas Source Debugger, you can inspect and monitor the events that Personas sends downstream.
+
+Because Personas generates a unique Source for every Destination connected to a Space, the Debugger gives you insight into how Personas sends events before they reach their Destination.
+
+The Debugger provides you with the payload information you need to troubleshoot potential formatting issues and ensure process and sends events as your Destinations expect.
+
+## Working with the Debugger
+
+To access the Debugger within your Space, click on the **Settings** tab, and then the **Debugger** tab.

+
+Next, click on the Source you want to inspect in the Debugger.

+
+The Debugger displays the payload in two tabs:
+
+* **Pretty view** shows the actual API call Segment sends to your Destination.
+* **Raw view** shows the full JSON object Segment sends to your Destination from the calls you sent, including timestamps, properties, traits, and ids.
+
+Similar to the Connections Debugger, the Personas Debugger allows you to search through events, using information contained within the event's payload.
