HTML reports in an answer
When the room's answer is a whole HTML document, the reply shows it as a card, HTML report followed by its name, with Open and Download. It opens in a sandboxed page of its own, so it cannot reach the app around it. Reports also appear in Artifacts under Reports.
Report pages
An agreed answer that contains a table can become a page where every row has a Done box and a Note. Ticks and notes are saved for everyone with the link, which makes it useful for checklists, audit findings and migration steps.
Where to find it. Web: hover the agreed answer and press report; the button appears only when the answer has a table. iPhone: Settings → The Room → Reports lists every report you made, with how many rows are closed.
How to use it.
- On the agreed answer, press report. The page opens with your tables.
- Share its link with the people who will do the work.
- Each person ticks rows and adds notes. A reader who is not signed in sees "Sign in to tick rows off".
What changes. As the owner you get Open the discussion and see who closed each row; others do not.
When not to use it. For a list that changes after the answer: the rows are fixed when the report is made. Ask the room again and make a new report.
Saving the agreed answer
Hover the agreed answer on the web for .md, .html, .pdf and .docx. PDF goes through your browser's print dialog; the Word file is made on the server. On the Mac and the iPhone, Copy and Share… carry the answer as Markdown.
| Format | Good for |
|---|---|
| .md | A repository, a wiki, or another tool that reads Markdown |
| .html | Mail, or a page you host yourself |
| Something to file or sign | |
| .docx | Someone who edits in Word |
The ⋯ menu's Export… saves the whole transcript as Markdown, and Download audit log saves the discussion's record as hash-chained JSON for an auditor.
Sharing a discussion
Share in the header makes a read-only link to the discussion, including what each reviewer ran. Stop sharing ends the link for good. A team policy can refuse a share, and when personal data is detected you are asked before it goes. A reader can press Continue in my account to take a copy into their own account. Shared pages and reports carry the same AI-generated line as published pages.
