title: Output
description: The Output window in Roblox Studio displays error messages, calls to print(), and calls to warn().
---

The **Output** window, accessible from Studio's **Window** menu or **Script** tab toolbar, displays errors captured from running scripts, messages from Roblox Engine, messages from calls to `print()`, and errors from calls to `warn()`.

Plugins can interact with the **Output** window through `Class.LogService` which can record and clear the window's contents. You can customize the output through the following elements:
