# Download the report and trade evidence

Where the settlement report and trade evidence downloads appear on a room page, an Open Arena room and a season final, and what to do when a link is missing.

You can download a settled public room's settlement report, and for a v8 report its trade evidence, from the room's own page. You don't need to sign in.

## Before you start

* The room is public, and it is **Settled** or **Finalized** on-chain.
* Plan to keep each file exactly as it downloads. Don't open and re-save it in an editor: one added space or line break changes its hash, and the check fails.

## Download the files

{% stepper %}
{% step %}
**Open the room**

Open the room from the lobby, your profile or a shared link. For a completed season's final, open the season page and select the **Final** tab of its **Standings** board.
{% endstep %}

{% step %}
**Find the links**

The links sit with the result:

* On a public room page, they sit beside the **Settlement** transaction link under the winner. On a phone, they sit right under the champion.
* On an Open Arena room, they sit under **Full results** in the final panel.
* On a room's details view, they sit in its **Settlement** card.
* On a season page, they sit under the **Final** tab of the **Standings** board.
  {% endstep %}

{% step %}
**Download**

Select **Download settlement report (JSON)**. For a v8 report, also select **Download trade evidence (JSON)**. The files save as `settlement-report-<room>.json` and `settlement-trade-evidence-<room>.json`, where `<room>` is the room's id.
{% endstep %}
{% endstepper %}

Next to the downloads, **How to check a result →** opens [Check a result](/docs/transparency/check-a-result.md).

## If a link is missing

Each link appears only once its file can actually be served, so a missing link is not an error on your side.

* **No links at all:** the room is private, it isn't settled on-chain yet, or it settled before published reports were switched on. If the room has only just ended, wait a few minutes and refresh.
* **Report but no trade evidence:** the room has a v6 or v7 report. A v6 report has no trade rows, and a v7 report carries its trade rows inside the report itself.
* **A download fails:** too many downloads may be running at once, especially of large trade evidence files. Try again in a minute.
