Exports

Every audit, current or from History, can be exported from the Report tab.

Format	Button	Contents	Best for
JSON	Export JSON	The whole audit: environment, active plugin versions, every ability record, the full role matrix and all findings.	Archiving, diffing between environments, feeding other tools.
CSV	Export CSV	One row per finding: severity, rule, ability, label, owner, message, fix, docs link and fingerprint.	Spreadsheets and ticket trackers.
Print view	Print view	A standalone page for clients: summary, findings grouped by severity with explanations and fixes, the role matrix and the inventory. Opens in a new tab.	Printing or saving as PDF with your browser’s print dialog.

File names#

Downloads are named ability-audit-<host>-<YYYYMMDD-HHMMSS>.<ext>, for example ability-audit-example-com-20261029-101500.csv, so exports from different sites and dates never overwrite each other.

CSV safety#

Cells that start with =, +, - or @ are escaped so they cannot run as spreadsheet formulas. The file starts with a UTF-8 BOM so Excel reads accented characters correctly.

Exporting from the command line#

wp ability-audit run --format=json and --format=csv print the same content to standard output. See WP-CLI Command.
