Share a report
Produce a self-contained HTML file anyone can open in a browser.
Export Report produces a single HTML file containing the whole report — quotes, themes, analysis, and your edits. It opens in any browser straight from the file — no server, no internet, nothing to install — and reads in the language you used. The recipient can read, search, and switch views, but the report is read-only: it can't change your project.
Create the file
In the report toolbar, choose Export → Export Report. Bristlenose writes a self-contained HTML file with the report and its data embedded, including your stars, tags, and edits. The recipient just opens it — controls that would need a live project (editing, re-analysis) are removed rather than left as buttons that do nothing.
Remove participant names
The export dialog has an option, Remove participant names from labels. It is off by default — an export carries your display names unless you turn it on. With it on:
- Display names are removed from the report, session list, filenames, and speaker labels.
- Participant codes (
p1,p2) are kept — they are the anonymisation boundary. - Moderator and observer names are kept (they are the research team, not subjects).
- Names spoken within the quote text are not removed. To remove those, redact at analysis time — see Redact personal information.
What it does not do
Exporting a report does not redact audio or video, and does not change the transcripts. It is a way to share the findings safely; the underlying recordings stay where they are. See Privacy and data for the full picture.
