# Retrieving issues

You can retrieve and view the issues detected during the analysis of any public project. For a private project, you need the Browse permission on the project.

## Retrieving issues <a href="#retrieving" id="retrieving"></a>

In the top navigation bar of SonarQube Community Build, select **Issues**. Alternatively, you can:

* Retrieve the issues of a given project: [Retrieving projects](https://app.gitbook.com/s/iJj3TXBdWssTGGg8qK5I/user-guide/viewing-projects/retrieving-projects "mention") and select **Issues** in the project navigation bar.
* Retrieve issues from an analysis report by selecting the reported number of issues.
