I have a question about "console.log" in Javascript Web Office Addins. Currently I am working on Javascript Word Addin and can't troubleshoot it, because I don't understand where the "console.log" output is sent. On Microsoft site there are a lot of examples, that contain contain "console.log", but they never specify how to check these outputs.
So, the question is how can I see this "console.log" output. I am not using Visual Studio.

log() is a function in JavaScript which is used to print any kind of variables defined before in it or to just print any message that needs to be displayed to the user. Syntax: console. log(A);
The JavaScript console log function is mainly used for code debugging as it makes the JavaScript print the output to the console. To open the browser console, right-click on the page and select Inspect, and then click Console.
In JavaScript, the console is an object which provides access to the browser debugging console. We can open a console in web browser by using: Ctrl + Shift + I for windows and Command + Option + K for Mac. The console object provides us with several different methods, like : log()
open your add-in on outlook. go to and open one of: 32-Bit – C:\Windows\System32\F12\IEChooser.exe 64-Bit – C:\Windows\SysWOW64\F12\IEChooser.exe and there is your debugger.
When you say you're not using Visual Studio, do you mean that you're not using the Visual Studio template? Or that you physically don't have Visual Studio on the machine (if so, might I recommend you install it -- even just the free/community edition)?
Once you have that:
You should now get a full debugging experience, complete with console output ("JavaScript console" window; use the Quick Launch (ctrl-Q) to launch it if it doesn't display be default), DOM Explorer (again, use Quick Launch if you don't see it), and more.
