    About

    Download issues exports your site's audit findings as a file, instead of a read-only list on the tasklist. It's available for a whole site or for a single page, in three formats:

    • CSV — one row per issue per page, with a ready-to-use task title, the standard, the affected page, and a description — built for pasting into a spreadsheet or importing into a project board like Asana or Trello.
    • JSON — the same per-page rows as CSV, structured for scripting your own import into another tool.
    • Markdown — issues grouped by topic as a checklist, with the pages each one affects listed underneath. Written to be handed directly to an AI coding agent to locate and fix.

    Every row/entry includes the standard that's failing, why it matters, a description, the affected page (or "Sitewide" for domain-level checks like a missing security.txt), and a link to the standard for more detail. Where available, it also includes a user story describing who's affected and why.

    Why it matters

    Audit findings only get fixed when they turn into tracked work. Download issues turns a list of failing standards into work items your team can actually assign, track, and close out — without retyping anything from the dashboard.

    Getting a download

    Use the Download button next to Rescan and Share, on either the sitewide tasklist or an individual page's audit view. Pick a scope (the whole site, or just that page) and a format, and the file downloads immediately — no export job to wait on.
