## Step 1: Open the Reports section

After logging in, click **Reports** in the left-hand sidebar.

## Step 2: Find your report

You will see the **Reports register**, a list of every report your team has filed. Each row shows the report name, template, author, date filed, completion percentage, and status.

</Frame>

Use the filters on the left to narrow the list:

* **Date filed**: last 24 hours, 7 days, 30 days, or all time
* **Status**: Submitted or In progress
* **Template**: reports from a specific template only
* **Author**: reports filed by a specific person

You can also search by title, author, or template name using the search bar at the top of the filter panel.

## Step 3: Filter to Submitted reports (optional)

To see only completed reports, click **Submitted** under Status in the filter panel.

## Step 6: Click Download PDF

At the top of the report, click **Download PDF**.

</Frame>

## Step 7: The PDF downloads

The file downloads to your computer immediately. Your browser will show it in the usual way: downloads bar, notification, or bottom of the screen depending on your browser.

The file is named automatically using the template name and the date filed, for example:

```
caravan-inspection-report-2026-06-09-2d2892e1.pdf
```

## Tips

* You must open a report first before you can download it. There is no bulk PDF export from the list view.
* The **conv ↗** button on each row in the reports list opens the originating AI conversation, not the report PDF.
* Reports with **In progress** status can be downloaded, but may have empty fields where the field worker has not yet answered.
* The **← Reports** button at the top left of the report detail page takes you back to the full list.
