# Download Email Report From Compliance Portal

Instead of exporting the full set of search results from a Content search in the Microsoft Purview compliance portal (or from a search that's associated with a Microsoft Purview eDiscovery (Standard) case), you can export the same reports that are generated when you export the actual search results.

When you export a report, the report files are downloaded to a folder on your local computer that has the same name as the Content Search, but that's appended with *\_ReportsOnly*. For example, if the Content Search is named *ContosoCase0815*, then the report is downloaded to a folder named *ContosoCase0815\_ReportsOnly*.

1\. Go to [https://compliance.microsoft.com/](https://compliance.microsoft.com/)

2\. Click on **Content Search** in the left pane
