Dynamics CRM 2011 - How do you debug a custom workflow using CRM online?

We are using the online version of CRM. I have created a custom workflow but I can't seem to locate anything that will tell me how to debug it. Everything I've read refers to copying the pdb file into the server bin/assemblies folder. Since we're not using the on-premise version I'm not sure where to go from here. Can anyone point me to some type of documentation to do this?

You need to use the ITracingService, which is more like alert("I'm here!") rather than proper debugging.

In any case it's just like debugging a plugin and is described here: Debug a Plug-In - Logging and Tracing

An alternative method to debug a plug-in is to use tracing. Tracing assists developers in troubleshooting plug-ins by providing run-time plug-in information as an aid in diagnosing the cause of plug-in failure. Tracing is especially useful to debug Microsoft Dynamics CRM Online registered plug-ins as it is the only supported debugging method for that scenario.

...

The tracing service was implemented to provide sandboxed plug-ins and custom workflow activities with a means to output run-time information when an exception is thrown.
