# How does the Diagnostics section work in Feedomix?

Diagnostics helps you identify product and feed issues before or during synchronization with Google Merchant Center.

It provides:

* Diagnostics summary
* Feed generation progress
* Top warning categories
* Affected products
* Recent feed runs

Diagnostics helps you understand the current state of your feed, identify products that may require changes, and review the results of previous feed-generation runs.
