Export Reports as Markdown

Download your security reports in Markdown format for offline use, archiving, or integration with other tools.

Overview​

RepoRisk allows you to export your security analysis reports as Markdown (.md) files. This is useful for:

  • Archiving reports in your own documentation systems
  • Sharing findings via email or messaging platforms that render Markdown
  • Integrating with other tools such as wikis, issue trackers, or CI/CD pipelines
  • Offline review of security findings without needing access to the platform

Export Options Explained​

Download Markdown (Summary)​

Downloads a Markdown file containing the report summary:

  • Risk grade and score
  • Overall findings summary
  • Category breakdown
  • Key security observations

This option generates the file locally in your browser.

Download Markdown + Files (Full Report)​

Downloads a comprehensive Markdown file that includes everything from the summary plus:

  • Detailed per-file analysis sections
  • Individual file findings with severity levels
  • File-specific recommendations

This option fetches the full report from the server, which may take a moment for large repositories.

Copy Markdown​

Copies the report summary in Markdown format directly to your clipboard, ready to paste into any Markdown-compatible editor or tool.

Markdown File Contents​

The exported Markdown file includes:

  • Report header with repository/package name and analysis date
  • Risk grade (A–F) and risk score
  • Findings summary organized by category
  • Severity breakdown (Critical, High, Medium, Low, Informational)
  • Per-file analysis (when using "Download Markdown + Files")

Troubleshooting​

Download Button Not Visible​

  • Ensure you are viewing a completed analysis report
  • The Download Report dropdown appears in the action bar at the top of the report page

"Report not loaded yet" Message​

  • Wait for the report to fully load before attempting to download
  • Refresh the page if the report appears stuck

"Report is still being generated"​

  • The full Markdown + Files export requires the server to compile the report
  • Wait a moment and try again — the analysis may still be processing
