Inside a finding

One failed check, in four tabs: what was found, where, how to fix it, and what the check tests. Each tab has its own address, so you can send a colleague straight to the fix.

How to get there#

Click any row on the Issues screen.

  1. 1

    Open Issues in the sidebar

    Under Understand.

  2. 2

    Click a row

    The arrows at the top right move through the list in order (2 / 53), so you can work through it without going back.

app.pixyscan.com/w/…/s/…/issues/…

An opened finding: severity and category badges beside the title, Ignore, Report, Export and All issues actions, a lens strip, five stat tiles, then What was found, Where these pages sit, and the first pages affected.
The Overview tab: five figures across the top, then what the crawl actually recorded.

The four tabs#

Each has its own address, so each can be linked to.

FieldAnswersWhat it does
OverviewWhat was found?The exact values found, how many pages carry each one, which folders those pages sit in, and the first few by name.
Affected pagesWhere exactly?Every affected URL, with the value found on it, its status, and a link to that page's own report. Not shown for a site-wide check.
How to fixWhat do I change?A before-and-after example, then the steps as a checklist you can tick off.
About this checkWhat is it testing?What the check looks for and why it matters.

app.pixyscan.com/w/…/s/…/issues/…/fix

The How to fix lens of a finding: worked before-and-after examples, then the authored steps as a checklist.
The How to fix tab: an example you can copy, then the steps as a checklist.

app.pixyscan.com/w/…/s/…/issues/…/affected-pages

The Affected pages lens: a row per URL with the value found on it, its status badge, and controls to open the page report, open the live page or copy the URL.
The Affected pages tab. Every row opens that URL's own report.

Not every check has a guide yet

Where no guide has been written, the How to fix tab says so rather than inventing something. The Overview and Affected pages tabs are always there.

After you have fixed it#

Rescan, then check the result.

Rescan to verify scans the site again and tells you whether this finding has gone. If you fixed several things at once, read Changes instead - it shows the whole scan as new, fixed and still open.

If the product does not match this page, the page is wrong and we would like to know. Tell us
