When a chat answer includes a table you want to keep or share, actions appear with that table. They sit on each table individually — so if you open other tables from the same answer, you can save or email the one you actually need.
The exception is a table labelled Sample preview: that's a peek at what a source holds, not a finished answer, so it carries no report actions. Ask for the figures you want and use that result instead.
Save as a report
Save files the exact result as a draft report — same numbers, same columns, re-runnable any time. It also keeps the governed method that will run the report again, so the draft and its method are created together.
You are taken straight to the saved report, so you never have to go looking for it. At the top of it you'll find a short panel explaining that it is a draft and what you can do next: publish it into the catalogue, re-file it under a different category, put it on a schedule, ask for a change, or drop it. Publishing is what turns it into something the whole team can find and run — and it also puts the method behind it on the skills shelf. If you don't have admin rights, the panel says so and tells you to ask an administrator to publish it.
Until it's published, a draft is a private working copy: it appears under the Drafts view on the Reports page, not in the main catalogue. See Drafts: publish, archive, amend.
The grid on a saved report is a live re-run of the query, so it's always current — it isn't a frozen snapshot of the day you saved it.
Download the table
Excel and CSV above a chat table give you the whole result, not the rows on screen. A chat answer deliberately shows only the first few rows, so your file will usually be longer than the table you were looking at. See Export to Excel.
Email it
Email report composes a draft email — it does not send anything. The draft lands in your Outbox (sidebar) with the answer summarised in the body and the full table attached as a spreadsheet — the same complete result you'd get from the download button, not just the rows shown in the chat.
To actually send: open the Outbox, review the draft, edit anything that needs changing, and click Send. You'll be asked to confirm. Nothing ever leaves the system without that deliberate click.
This two-step design is intentional: an email with your company's numbers in it should never be one accidental click away.
