Search the existing [Drupal issue queue](https://www.drupal.org/project/issues/drupal) for existing issues related to your problem. Pay special attention to the beta version to which issues correspond, as well as its current status to help narrow down your problem. 2. Search the existing [Pantheon Drupal 8 issue queue](https://github.com/pantheon-systems/drops-8/issues) for known issues running Drupal 8 on Pantheon. These are issues that only happen on Pantheon, but are not issues in other contexts (local development, simplytest.me, other hosting providers). 3. Attempt to debug the issue yourself using your own developer smarts and information you learned by searching the issue queues and other information sources (Google, Stack Overflow, etc). 4. Report your issue to the appropriate queue depending on if the problem is related to Drupal 8 generally ([Drupal issue queue](https://www.drupal.org/project/issues/drupal)) or is specific to Pantheon ([Pantheon issue queue](https://github.com/pantheon-systems/drops-8/issues)). -5.

Developers can export their configuration into that directory directly using Drush's config-export command or indirectly using Drupal's UI to download the configuration and then using SFTP/Git to place the configuration in sites/default/config.
