FAQ¶
Why Won’t Arelle Open?¶

Why Am I Getting a Validation Error or Warning?¶
Disagree with an Arelle validation? Open a change request with a document that triggers the rule and we’ll take a look. Some jurisdiction based validation rules are open to interpretation. In these cases we defer to the community for consensus.
Why Are Concept Details Missing From the Viewer?¶
Concept details missing from the Arelle ixbrl-viewer or EdgarRenderer? Check the Arelle log for download errors. If Arelle can’t download the referenced taxonomy and schemas that define those concept details the viewers will fail to render them.
Is There a Newer Version of Arelle Available?¶
New versions of Arelle are typically released multiple times per week. If you’re using one of the prepackaged distributions you can check for and install updates from the Help menu in the GUI.
