Publishing, republishing, and unpublishing a hosted report

Before you start

• ✓A finalized report. Hosted reports publish a finalized version, not the draft.
• ✓A free active hosted report slot on the plan.
• ✓Your brand settings saved, if the report should carry your branding.

Steps

1. Publish

   1

   Step 1: Open the finalized report and choose Publish

   The dialog confirms that it publishes a fixed snapshot of the report.

2. 2

   Step 2: Choose the options

   Choose whether to hide the report from search engines (noindex) and whether to require a password. The report uses your current published brand version, white-label or with Prooflin attribution.

   Step 3: Publish and share the link

   Choose Publish Snapshot, then Copy Link and send it to your client. The link is prooflin.com/r/ followed by an opaque ID. If you set a password, share it separately.

4. Republish

   Step 4: Reopen, edit, and finalize a new version

   Choose Reopen as New Version, make your changes, and finalize. Visitors still see the published snapshot.

5. 5

   Step 5: Publish the new version

   Publish the new version and send the new link. Each publication has its own link, and the previous one stops working; Hosted Reports lists the old snapshot as Replaced by a newer snapshot.

6. Unpublish

   6

   Step 6: Choose Unpublish

   In Hosted Reports, choose Unpublish and confirm. The link stops working immediately, and the hosted report slot is freed. The report itself isn’t changed.
