📋 Overview

In Report Builder, each report can include one or more projects. If you need to remove a project from a report, you will use a control that may only become visible after scrolling horizontally inside the report editor. This guide walks you through the general process so nothing gets missed.

🧭 How to Get to Report Builder

  1. Log in to your Search Atlas account.
  2. In the left sidebar, click Reports.
  3. Your list of existing reports appears at /report-builder/projects-list.
  4. Click the report you want to edit.

🗑️ How to Remove a Project from a Report

  1. Open the report that contains the project you want to remove.
  2. Locate the projects bar near the top of the report editor. This bar displays all projects currently added to the report.
  3. Scroll horizontally inside the projects bar. This step is easy to miss — the remove control may only become visible after you scroll within the project area.
  4. Once you have scrolled to reveal the full project entry, look for the remove control (such as a button or icon) associated with that project.
  5. Click the remove control to detach the project from the report.
  6. The project is now removed from the report. Any remaining projects are unaffected.

💡 Tips for Smooth Horizontal Scrolling

  • Trackpad users: Place two fingers on the trackpad and swipe left or right directly over the projects bar.
  • Mouse users: Hold the Shift key and roll the scroll wheel while hovering over the projects bar.
  • All users: If no scroll bar is visible, try hovering directly over the projects bar first — the scroll bar appears on hover in most browsers.
  • Make sure your browser zoom level is set to 100%. A zoomed-in view can push the remove control fully off screen.

❓ Frequently Asked Questions

  • Will removing a project delete any data? No. Removing a project from a report only detaches it from that report. The project and all its data remain intact in your account.
  • Can I re-add the project later? Yes. You can include it again by adding the project back through the report editor.
  • The remove control is not appearing even after scrolling. What should I do? Try refreshing the page and reopening the report. If the issue persists, contact our support team using the chat widget described below.
