# Work with static reports

This topic covers the specifics of working with static reports after they are published. This type of reports allows users to view notebooks published as a completed HTML page and edit its copy collaboratively.

Unlike [interactive reports](interactive-reports.html), static reports allow viewers to leave comments only and do not provide interactivity, except for [downloading files attached to the report](interactive-control-cells.html#file-downloader).

## Before you open a static report

Refer to these topics to learn how to build, publish, and share a static report.

* [Build a report](build-a-report.html): describes the process of preparing the notebook as a report before publishing it.

* [Publish a report](publish-a-report.html): describes the process of publishing the notebook as a report.

* [Share reports](share-reports.html)

How you can open a report varies based on your access to the report. View the details in [this topic](work-with-published-reports.html#opening-reports).

## Procedures
