Evidence and outputs

Reports and publications

Editions, exports, and why a render can be refused.

Who this is for

Anyone producing a deliverable somebody outside will read.

No screenshot on this pageThe report planner capture this guide carried was withdrawn from publication on 2026-09-22. Read by eye, it rendered a real administrator’s name and the real VoiceInsights Africa organisation rather than the demonstration tenant it had been published as. Re-capturing it on the demonstration tenant needs a staff sign-in, and Preview cannot currently deliver the email one-time code that sign-in requires, so no governed capture of this surface exists to publish. Putting a picture of an adjacent screen here instead would make a caption claim something the image does not show.

Report families and editions

A report is a family. Each language edition belongs to that family and inherits its dataset version and evidence lineage rather than recomputing them — which is what keeps five editions on one chain instead of producing five unrelated reports.

Creating a translated edition

A non-source edition must reference a governed translation artefact that your organization owns and that targets the edition’s language. Without one the edition cannot be created — an edition in another language with no record of how the words got there is a publication with untraceable provenance.

Exports

PDF, DOCX, PPTX and XLSX. Arabic editions render right-to-left with embedded Unicode fonts.

Why a render is refused

Export is governed. A render is refused when the evidence behind the report cannot be resolved — most commonly because a claim cites nothing, an element carries no citation, or the report predates governed evidence linkage entirely.

This is the contract workingA chart that cites nothing may not be published. If your export is refused, the response names the reason and the specific elements that could not be traced.

What this does not do

Stated here rather than discovered later

A report cannot be published in a language outside the five institutional editions. The request is refused, not approximated.
A translated edition cannot be created without a governed translation artefact. The platform does not produce the translation for you.
A refused export is not a bug to work around.
