+After crash, macOS Crash Reporter shows a window with backtrace after some time, or when Blender
+is opened again. Copy the text in the crash report and save it in a text file. That file should be attached
+to the bug report while following other bug reporting guidelines.
 
+Some ``.crash`` files can also be found in ``~/Library/Logs/DiagnosticReports/`` with the name of
+format: ``Blender_YYYY-MM-DD-HHMMSS_MACNAME.crash``. If a report is present corresponding to the
+time of crash, that file can also provide hints about cause of the crash. Alternatively, Console.app
+can be used to navigate all "User Reports" (see sidebar in the app).
