Overview

The Reports page keeps a history of frozen accessibility reports for each scope. A frozen report is a point-in-time snapshot: it never changes as new findings come in, so you can use it as a baseline to share, compare against, and download later. Frozen reports also power the Since last report card on the dashboard, which measures new and fixed issues against your most recent snapshot.

Generating a report

From the scope controls, click Generate a report from Live to freeze the current state of the selected target URL. The snapshot captures the scope’s coverage along with its findings, so a frozen report shows the coverage as it stood at freeze time. If nothing changed since the last snapshot, Spur keeps the latest frozen report current instead of creating a duplicate.
You can freeze each scope once per 24 hours. If you already froze a report today, Spur shows a notice that you can freeze the scope again 24 hours after its latest snapshot. Each application also has a report limit across all scopes, 2 reports per rolling 7-day window by default. Once the limit is reached, Spur tells you generating becomes available again as earlier reports age out of the window.

Downloading artifacts

You can export each frozen report in four formats:
  • Executive summary PDF — a concise overview with priorities, scope, coverage, and next steps.
  • Detailed audit PDF — the full findings, with evidence and per-issue detail.
  • Developer handoff — a Markdown file with the findings and fixes.
  • Raw report data — a JSON file for your own tooling.
These reports summarize automated and test-observed findings. They are not a WCAG conformance claim or a completed VPAT/ACR. Manual evaluation is still required.

Viewing and sharing a snapshot

Open a frozen report to browse its issues exactly as they were captured. Triage actions still apply to the live issue state, so reviewing a snapshot never rewrites history. When you copy an issue link from the Issues page, you choose what the link points at:
  • Link to this report — opens the issue inside the frozen report you’re viewing. The link stays stable even as live data changes.
  • Link to live — opens the issue against current data.
If a linked issue is outside the frozen report or hidden by the recipient’s filters, Spur offers a View live fallback.
