# Report Customization

Control what appears in your downloaded pentest reports and executive summaries.

Report customization lets you control what appears in your downloaded PDF reports and executive summaries. Reports and executive summaries are configured independently, and your settings apply globally to all future downloads.

A live PDF preview updates as you adjust options, so you can review the output before saving.

{% hint style="info" %}
Report customization is available on Standard+ packages and above. To inquire about upgrading your <code class="expression">space.vars.product\_name</code> package, contact your account manager or reach out to sales.

### Customize your report

1. Select your project in the project bar and open the <mark style="color:orange;">**Reports & Executive Summaries**</mark> tab.
2. Click <mark style="color:orange;">**Customize Report**</mark> to open the customization panel.

![The Customize Report and Customize Executive Summary buttons on the Reports & Executive Summaries tab](https://3399686764-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-x-prod.appspot.com/o/spaces%2F2VRHlIPF1fbDuNbp9G2t%2Fuploads%2FuvNovwLbCWvhb0Wos8Nv%2Fimage.png?alt=media\&token=917a02c8-3ff3-45c6-8d06-15bb385843da)

The following options are available in the report customization panel:

* <mark style="color:orange;">**Custom summary text**</mark> - A rich text editor lets you add content to the report's **Additional Information** section. This text is labeled in the document as added by your company and not verified by Software Secured. Common uses include your testing cadence, the version tested, planned retest dates, or your security program commitments.
* <mark style="color:orange;">**Company logo**</mark> - Upload a PNG, JPEG, or JPG file (max 5 MB). Your logo appears on the cover page alongside the Software Secured logo. This is useful for sharing reports externally or publishing them in a Trust Center.
* <mark style="color:orange;">**Custom appendix**</mark> - Add a custom appendix to the report with a configurable title and body content.

* <mark style="color:orange;">**Section visibility**</mark> - Check a box to hide that section for every vulnerability in the downloaded PDF. The following sections can be toggled: **Description**, **Impact**, **Mitigation**, **Replication Steps**, **Evidence**, **References**, and **Compliance**.
* <mark style="color:orange;">**Show Informational Vulnerabilities**</mark> - Enabled by default. Disable to exclude all Informational-severity vulnerabilities from the report.
* <mark style="color:orange;">**Show Full Compliance**</mark> - Enabled by default. Disable to show only control names and framework names, without the full control descriptions. For more information, see [Compliance Mapping](/vulnerabilities/compliance-mapping.md).
