# Export and share reports

> Prepare privacy-safe report images, download bounded CSV data, and preserve the scope behind every shared result.

This guide documents current CrawlRaven v2 behavior. UI labels are written exactly where relevant. Bounded Search Console rows are evidence, not guaranteed exhaustive totals.

## Share a report section as an image

1. **Set the report scope** — Choose the date range, filters, chart metrics, and table movement you want the recipient to see.
2. **Select the camera icon** — Use Export as image on a supported Performance, Search Console, or GA4 section.
3. **Review privacy options** — Private mode starts on. Keep Percentages only on to hide absolute totals while preserving rates and changes.
4. **Copy or download** — Choose Copy image for a compatible browser clipboard, or Download PNG to save the generated file.

> **Always inspect the preview:** Private mode masks fields marked as sensitive and can remove absolute chart labels, but you are responsible for checking the final image before sending it.

Free workspaces include a CrawlRaven credit on generated images. Sites with full workspace access can choose whether to include the credit. Image export does not change or publish report data.

## Hide sensitive values while presenting

Use the eye control in the app chrome to enable privacy mode before a screen share or recording. It obscures marked domains, queries, page URLs, names, and email addresses in the visible interface and remembers the choice in that browser.

> **Privacy mode is not an access control:** It changes presentation in your browser. It does not remove data from the account, exported CSV files, network responses, or a recipient’s authorized report view.

## Export report data as CSV

| Surface | Included scope | Delivery |
| --- | --- | --- |
| Queries / Pages | Active date range, Search Console filters, search, movement filter, and sort. | An export job is prepared, then the control changes to Download CSV. |
| Opportunities | The selected lifecycle status view. | Immediate CSV download. |
| Target Keywords | Targeted or Ignored status, keyword search, Volume range, and Difficulty range. | Immediate CSV download. |

CSV export requires full workspace access and permission to act in the workspace. A Queries or Pages export can keep preparing while you continue working. If status polling times out, use Retry export. A ready Queries or Pages file expires after 24 hours; make a new export after it expires.

> **Worked example: declining pages:** Open `Pages`, choose Last 90 days, select Declining, add any country or device filter you need, sort by Clicks, and then select `Export CSV`. The file represents that exact report request.

## Keep the evidence boundary attached

- Search Console dimensional rows are bounded and can omit anonymized or lower-traffic queries.
- A truncation notice means Google may have additional rows beyond the retrieved corpus.
- Do not sum Query or Page CSV rows to recreate site-level KPI totals.
- When sharing an image or file, state the site, date range, filters, and whether the source reported truncation.

For more on why dimensional rows and site totals differ, see [Explore Queries and Pages](/docs/queries-and-pages). For the app-wide eye control, see [Manage sites and settings](/docs/sites-and-settings).
