# Share a report

> How to generate a shareable report from a takedown case for colleagues or outside stakeholders.

This guide walks you through producing a shareable record of a takedown case, so you can hand it to a colleague, a lawyer, or another stakeholder without giving them access to nebty itself. The red numbers in the screenshots match the numbers in each step.

## Before you start

You need a takedown case to report on. Any case works, whether it is still open or already **Closed**. If you have not opened one yet, start with [Request a takedown](https://docs.nebty-id.com/guides/request-a-takedown/).

## Steps

1. **Open the takedown case.** Select **Takedowns** (1) in the navigation, then select the case you want to report on (2).

2. **Choose Generate Report.** The button (1) sits at the top right of the case, next to its status. Every case has this action, regardless of its current status. A closed case offers it as well. nebty builds a PDF in the background and emails it to you with a download link, so it will not appear immediately.

3. Once the email arrives, share the PDF with whoever needs it, for example a colleague, a manager, or an external lawyer. The report stands on its own, so the person you send it to does not need a nebty account to make sense of it.

## What happens next

The report captures the case as it stood at the moment you generated it: the underlying finding, the evidence nebty gathered, and the case’s progress and outcome so far. If the case is still open, generate a fresh report later to reflect its current status.
