# Share or export a report

Share a completed report result with an authorized teammate or download it, using a time limit, purpose, and download limit that match the business need.

Use the Podigee Audio Video Ad Server when another person needs a completed report result but does not need access to the full Monetization workspace. You can share one completed run with an active teammate, limit how long it is available, limit downloads, or download the result yourself.

## Before you start

Create and run the report first. You need a completed run with a downloadable result. Confirm the report scope, period, time zone, metric definitions, currency, privacy class, and data-as-of time before you share it. You need report read permission to open the run and report share permission to create secure access.

Sharing a result does not create a new report definition and does not change a Campaign, Flight, ad decision, or delivery record. The shared result remains the exact completed run that you chose.

## Download a result for yourself

1. Open **Monetization > Evidence & Money**.
2. Open the saved report.
3. Open **Report history**.
4. Find the completed run.
5. Select **Download**.

The download uses the output format recorded for that run. If **Download** is not available, the run is not complete or the result is not available to your account. Check the run state before you try again.

## Create secure access for a teammate

1. Open **Report history** for the saved report.
2. Find the completed run that you want to share.
3. Select **Share securely**.
4. Choose an active team member with report access.
5. Choose a **Purpose**: stakeholder review, client delivery, or finance review.
6. Choose an **Access duration**: 1 day, 7 days, or 30 days.
7. Choose a **Download limit**: 1, 3, or 10 downloads.
8. Select **Create secure access**.

The page accepts only active team members who already have report access. Choose the shortest duration and smallest download limit that fit the task. The purpose helps the recipient understand why the result was shared.

![The current One Podigee Evidence & Money page shows the report history entry point for saved reports, scheduled delivery, and result access.](https://2032417310-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-x-prod.appspot.com/o/spaces%2FbqUKO6lljHGzkEAzliPI%2Fuploads%2Fgit-blob-ab157f76d1c3f5f7be3a2d369de4c2995b42dd3b%2Fdoc-monetization-072-reports-overview.png?alt=media)

*Open a saved report from Evidence & Money before you share or download a completed run.*

## What the recipient sees

The recipient opens the shared result while signed in to the authorized Podigee account. The shared page shows:

* the report name and file format;
* the purpose of the share;
* when access ends;
* how many downloads are allowed; and
* a **Download report** action.

Opening the shared page does not use a download. A download counts only when the recipient downloads the report. Each view and download is recorded with its outcome.

## Check expiry and access limits

A shared result is available only while all of these conditions are true:

1. The recipient is the authorized team member.
2. The share has not been revoked.
3. The access duration has not ended.
4. The download limit has not been reached for a download request.

When a share expires or reaches its download limit, the recipient cannot use it again. A share can also be revoked by the governing access workflow. The current share page does not expose a separate revoke button, so use the workspace access or support process when you need to stop access before the expiry time.

## Choose a report export or an evidence package

Use **Download** when the recipient only needs the completed report file. Use **Create evidence package** when the recipient must verify how the result was produced, such as a buyer, publisher, finance reviewer, auditor, or dispute owner. An evidence package keeps the report, reporting period, data cutoff, metric definitions, and integrity manifest together.

Do not use a shared report as a replacement for a signed evidence package when the recipient needs to verify the source or calculation. Do not use an evidence package when a simple result download is enough for the job.

## Troubleshoot sharing

| Situation                                    | What to check                                                                                                    |
| -------------------------------------------- | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| No **Share securely** action appears         | Confirm that the run is completed and that you have report share permission.                                     |
| No recipient can be selected                 | Give the team member report access and confirm that the account is active.                                       |
| The recipient cannot open the shared result  | Check the signed-in account, expiry time, and whether access was revoked.                                        |
| The recipient can open but cannot download   | Check the download limit and the number of successful downloads.                                                 |
| The result is not the number you expected    | Compare the report version, period, time zone, metric definitions, privacy class, currency, and data-as-of time. |
| The recipient needs proof of the calculation | Create an evidence package instead of sharing only the report file.                                              |

## Expected result

You have either downloaded the exact completed run or granted one authorized teammate time-limited access to that run. The purpose, expiry, download limit, and access history make the sharing decision clear, while the original report definition and run remain unchanged.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.podigee.com/documentation/grow-and-monetize/monetization/share-or-export-a-report.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
