# 📄 Download Reports

Having a report of your check can be useful. Scaut provides both summary and detailed reports.

## Downloading assessment reports

Every assessment in Scaut can produce two PDF reports. Reports are generated on request from the assessment detail page. Once generated, they can be downloaded from the **Reports** section and are also stored in the **Files** section of the same assessment.

### Updating a report

A report reflects the assessment at the moment it was generated. If checks are completed or results change afterwards, click **Regenerate**.

Regenerating replaces the existing report, both in the Reports section and in the Files section. The previous version is not kept. If you need a record of an earlier version, download it before regenerating.

The **Last generated** timestamp shows when the current version was created.
