# Report Viewer: Customizing report output

In the Report Viewer you can make changes to the style, formatting, and data of the report. These changes can be saved to the original report, to a new copy of the report, or as a user report, by clicking the Save changes icon.

Caution: If you make any changes, you must save them before closing the Report Viewer or you will lose them.

What is a user report?

A user report is a customized version of a report that is specific to you. User report changes are saved separately from the report design, and will only show when you run the report yourself. These can be useful if you want to make changes to a locked report.

Note about cookies: User reports may be stored as browser cookies. Ask your administrator whether this is the case. If so, then user report changes will only apply to your current computer and web browser. Clearing your browser cookies will remove any user report customizations that you have made.
