# Workflow: Exploration Reports

## What are exploration reports?

Exploration Reports enable the user to create a customized view of charts from a set of workflows contained in the Exploration. 

## Use Cases

Exploration reports can be invaluable in a number of situations

- **Overview reports** : Presenting a subset of information that is captured by a set of workflows, only selecting specific charts that are of interest to a specific team
- **Side by side comparisons**: Presenting measurements of different versions, applications or experiments side by side for the purpose of understanding improvements or regressions 

## Usage

### Creating Explorations Reports

An Exploration report is created automatically for each exploration and you can access it by selecting the `Exploration Report` link right under the Exploration name. By default the Exploration Report will contain all the charts that exist in all the deployed workflows in the Exploration. 

### Modifying Exploration Reports

The Exploration reports can be customized by the user by entering edit mode by clicking the `Edit dashboard` button at the top of the `Exploration report` view. The customizations are possible the following ways
