# Regulatory reports

Starting in [Enterprise Edition](https://www.sonarsource.com/plans-and-pricing/enterprise/), you can download a regulatory report for any permanent branch of a project. The report is a zip file containing a snapshot of the selected branch. It is comprised of a selection of .txt, .csv, and .pdf files containing:

* An overview of the selected branch of the project.
* Configuration items relevant to the project’s quality (quality profile, quality gate, and analysis exclusions).
* Lists of findings for both new and overall code on the selected branch.

{% hint style="info" %}
Currently, only operational risks are logged in the list of findings: bugs, vulnerabilities, and hotspots. Code smells are excluded from the list to not generate confusion about the risks introduced by the release.
{% endhint %}

{% hint style="info" %}
A permanent branch is one that has been set to **Keep when inactive** (see [Maintaining project branches](/sonarqube-server/10.7/project-administration/maintaining-the-branches-of-your-project.md) for details on how to adjust this setting).
{% endhint %}

To download the regulatory report of a project:

1. [Retrieving projects](/sonarqube-server/10.7/user-guide/viewing-projects/retrieving-projects.md).
2. In the top right corner of the project page, select **Project Information**.
3. In the **Regulatory Report** section, select the desired branch and select the **Download** button. The report will be dynamically generated and downloaded, and depending on the project size, it may take a few minutes.
