+Debugging Generated GitHub Workflows
+====================================
+
+This troubleshooting guide is helpful if you run into issues installing or updating
+the GitHub workflows provided by the PTB.
+
+Enabling Debug Logging
+----------------------
+
+To get more detailed output, set the ``LOG_LEVEL`` environment variable to ``DEBUG`` before executing a CLI command.
+By default, the ``LOG_LEVEL`` is set to ``INFO``.
+
+.. code-block:: bash
+
+   export LOG_LEVEL=DEBUG
+
+Checking Custom Exceptions
+----------------------------
+
+Certain pain points are associated with custom exceptions. These give a brief statement
+on what could be wrong and in which file. For further information, check the traceback.
+
+For the list of the custom exceptions for installing or updating the GitHub workflows,
+see the :ref:`workflow_exceptions`.
