# Reports

Reports are durable, versioned documents for investigations, audits, analyses, and other work people
need to revisit. Ask Indent to **publish a report** when a result needs a home beyond the session.
Indent returns a link when the report is published, and the report remains available after the
session's computer is gone.

## Find and read reports

Select **Reports** in the app sidebar to browse reports available to you. Search matches report
titles. Use **All**, **Private**, and **Team** to filter by visibility. Reports are ordered by their
most recent publication.

A report inherits the visibility of the session that first publishes it:

- **Private** reports are visible only to the person who created the private session.
- **Team** reports are visible to the organization.

Each publication that changes the document or one of its assets creates a version. Open **Version
history** to switch versions and see when and by whom each was published. Use the arrow beside a
version to open its source session. From a report's full-page view, **Open chat** opens the source
session for the selected version.

## Ask for changes

Open the report from its source session to leave feedback for Indent:

1. Select text in the report and choose **Comment**.
2. Write the change you want and choose **Comment** again. Repeat for any other passages.
3. Choose **Submit feedback to the agent** to send the comments without another message, or send
   your next chat message to include them with it.

Comments remain drafts until they are submitted. They can be edited, deleted, or discarded first.
Text comments are available in the report panel inside a session, not on the standalone Reports
page.

A revision stays on the same report as a new version, so existing report links continue to work.

## Download a report

Open **Download** on the version you are viewing:

- **Download as PDF** opens the browser's print flow for the rendered report.
- **Download as ZIP** downloads the source Markdown and its report assets.

Referenced files and images are stored with each report version. When a report uses an external
image, Indent downloads it and publishes it as a report asset; a report cannot keep an external
image URL embedded directly.

## Reports in Slack

When Indent publishes a report in a Slack channel, it creates a channel-readable Slack canvas and
includes an **open in Indent** link. If a canvas cannot be created or shared, Indent sends the
report link instead. Direct messages and group direct messages receive the report link rather than a
canvas.

A Slack workspace connected before canvas delivery was added may need the newer permission. Open
[**Settings → Slack**](https://app.indent.com/settings/slack) and choose **Reconnect workspace**.

## Publishing limits

- Publishing requires a cloud sandbox. A session attached only to a local computer cannot publish a
  report.
- Subagents cannot publish reports themselves. The main session must publish the finished document.
- External images must become report assets before publishing. Referenced files are copied into the
  report so they remain available with it.
