Word family
The adjective 'detailliert' (detailed) is the past participle form of the verb 'detaillieren' (to detail). Both words come from the French noun 'le détail' (the detail).
EXAMPLE

Could you please detail the incident more precisely?
Typical collocations
'Detailliert' (detailed) is often used with nouns that describe information or plans. Common combinations are 'detaillierte Beschreibung' (detailed description), 'detaillierter Plan' (detailed plan), 'detaillierter Bericht' (detailed report), and 'detaillierte Informationen' (detailed information).
EXAMPLE

Use as an adverb
'Detailliert' (in detail) can also be used as an adverb to describe a verb. It then means 'with many details' and often appears with verbs like 'erklären' (to explain), 'beschreiben' (to describe), or 'analysieren' (to analyze).
EXAMPLE

Compare with
detailliert vs genau
exact / precise
'genau' and 'detailliert' are close in meaning because both have to do with precision. 'genau' mainly means that something is exactly right or done carefully. 'detailliert' means that many individual details are mentioned or shown. The words can be confused because a detailed explanation is often also precise. But a precise piece of information can be very short, for example a time. A detailed description is usually longer and contains a lot of information.
detailliert
Kannst du den Unfall bitte detailliert beschreiben?
Can you please describe the accident in detail?
genau
Im Park habe ich die genaue Uhrzeit unseres Termins notiert.
In the park, I noted down the exact time of our appointment.
