Reports

Reports are written analyses of your site by the RankDebug team: why traffic moved, what a migration did, what to fix and in what order. They are written by people and shared with the workspace when they are ready. The Reports page lists them with their version, when they were shared and how many comment threads are open.

Reading and commenting

Open a report to read it. Select a passage to comment on it, reply in a thread, and resolve a thread when it is settled. When a report is revised, its version goes up and it shows as unread again.

Members with Reports switched on in notifications hear when a report is shared with the workspace or someone replies to their comment.

Each shared report can also be downloaded as a PDF.

Requesting a report

Click Request a Report, ask your question in your own words and add any detail that helps: pages, dates, what you already suspect. The request appears under Requests with its status: Requested, In Progress, Delivered or Declined. When it is delivered, it links to the report.

The agent files requests too, when you ask it something that needs a written analysis and agree to send it.

Files

Upload a File hands the team a data file for a report, such as an export from another tool, with a description in your words. A file can be up to 50 MB and can be linked to one of your requests. Files are listed under Files, where they can be downloaded or deleted.

Sharing outside the workspace

A workspace owner or admin can create a share link for one version of a report. Anyone with the link can read that version without signing in, until the link expires or is revoked. A link can be given an expiry date, and every share link can be revoked from the report.
