# Downloading Results and Reports

> Export candidate results as Excel or PDF, download a single candidate's full report, and share report links with your team.

Every assessment offers two downloadable reports: a spreadsheet-style export of **all candidates' results**, and a detailed PDF report for a **single candidate**.

| Report               | Scope                            | Formats                  | Where to find it                         |
| -------------------- | -------------------------------- | ------------------------ | ---------------------------------------- |
| **Export Results**   | All candidates in the assessment | Excel or PDF (same data) | Top right of the assessment results page |
| **Candidate Report** | One candidate, all tests         | PDF                      | Inside the candidate's submission page   |

## Export Results for All Candidates

Use this export when you want every candidate's scores in one file, for example to sort, filter, or share a shortlist.

<Steps>
  <Step title="Open the assessment results">
    From your **Recruiter Dashboard**, click the assessment title. The results page for that assessment loads.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Click Export Results">
    The **Export Results** button is at the top right of the results page.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Choose a format">
    Pick **Export to Excel** or **Export to PDF**. Both formats contain exactly the same data, so choose whichever is easier to work with.
  </Step>
</Steps>

<Tip>
  A sample export with dummy data is available in [this spreadsheet](https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/10d-b3PVxmKxa-W9OqG0gjVTE-8tPGIUUe9FygeeIGbI/edit#gid=0), so you can see the exact layout before exporting.
</Tip>

### What the export contains

The export includes one row per candidate with these fields:

| Field                                 | What it contains                                                                             |
| ------------------------------------- | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |

| **Email**                             | The candidate's email ID                                                                     |

| **End Date**                          | Date they finished. Empty if the assessment is unfinished                                    |

| **Points Scored for Test 1**          | Points the candidate scored on the first test                                                |
| **Points Available for Test 1**       | Maximum points available on the first test                                                   |

| **Test Taker Photo for Test 1**       | URL to the candidate's photo captured before the first test                                  |

<Note>
  The per-test columns (Points Scored, Points Available, Trust Score Percentage, Plagiarism Score, Test Taker Photo) repeat for every test in the assessment: Test 2, Test 3, and so on.
</Note>

## Download a Single Candidate's Report

When you want to review or share one candidate's complete submission, download their individual **PDF report**.

<Steps>
  <Step title="Open the candidate's submission">
    On the assessment results page, click the candidate's test score (the orange link). Their submission page opens.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Locate the test dropdown">
    In the second section of the page, a dropdown on the left lists the tests in the assessment. Switching tests loads the corresponding submission.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Click download PDF">
    The **download PDF** button sits on the far right of that section. Clicking it downloads the candidate's entire submission, across all tests, as a single PDF file.
  </Step>
</Steps>

The PDF report contains:

* The **test score and Trust Score** for each test
* The candidate's **answers and submissions**, depending on the test type
* **Links to the full report** on Equip

<Note>
  The PDF is prepared asynchronously, so it may take a moment to generate before the download begins. A sample candidate report is available at [this link](https://drive.google.com/file/d/147C0J28M_E9hPzQXK51F-yr6mj31W_ut/view?usp=sharing).
</Note>

## Sharing Report Links

Each candidate's report page has a **copyable report link**. Copy it to share a specific candidate's results with hiring managers or teammates without exporting a file.

This is often faster than downloading and attaching a PDF, especially while scores are still being finalized through [manual grading](/manual-grading).

<Tip>
  If you want results to flow into a spreadsheet automatically as candidates finish, connect the assessment to Google Sheets instead of exporting repeatedly. See [Write Results to Google Sheets](/write-results-to-google-sheets).
