How do I share an ATS report?
To share an ATS report from ATS Free For All, run an analysis, open the report and choose Create share link. You get a web address that shows your scores and fix list to anyone who opens it, and you must be signed in to create one.
The link points to a saved copy of the report, not to your CV file. The copy keeps the total score, the dimension scores, the findings with their fixes and the keyword lists. It is stored for 30 days, and after that the address stops working. A link can only be created when the site has its storage configured, so on a server without it the button is not shown.
What does a shared report contain, and what is left out?
A shared report in ATS Free For All contains scores and findings but never the evidence lines, because evidence can quote text lifted straight from your resume.
The evidence is removed on the server before the copy is saved, so a person with the link cannot read your sentences, only what the checks found and what to change. The downloaded Markdown file works differently, and the table shows both side by side.
Neither route passes your CV text to a third party by itself: the Markdown file lives on your device, and the link holds only the stripped report.
| Share link | Markdown report | |
|---|---|---|
| Where it lives | A saved copy on the server | A file on your device |
| Evidence lines from the CV | Removed | Included under each finding |
| Sign-in needed | Yes, to create it | No extra step once the report is open |
| Lifetime | 30 days, then the address stops working | Until you delete the file |
Example: what is in the Markdown report?
The Markdown report from ATS Free For All is a plain text file named ats-report followed by your total, such as ats-report-72.md, and it lists the score, each dimension, the numbered fix list and the keyword result.
A typical file starts with the total out of 100 and the band, then the language, word count and page estimate. Each finding appears as a heading with the points it costs, the detail, a Fix line and, in a code block, the evidence lines from your resume. If you analysed against a job ad, it states the coverage percentage with the matched and missing terms; otherwise it lists the skills found in the CV. Because it is text, you can paste it into a ticket, a note or an email, diff it against an earlier export, or use Copy as text instead of saving a file.
What can a shared ATS report not do?
A shared report from ATS Free For All cannot be edited, kept past 30 days or used to open your CV, and it does not say whether a company will hire you.
The link shows the saved result as it was on the day you shared it, so later edits to your resume do not change it. There is no password on the link: anyone who has the address can read it until it expires, so share it only with people you trust, and remember that the Markdown file contains evidence lines from your CV and should be handled like the CV itself.
