Example Report Format
SciNote Reports have a default PDF format. Make sure the text, images, and other data in your ELN entries are formatted as you like BEFORE you create the report.
The formatting on other pages in the ELN will impact how your report appears.

To update your report, select the report you want to update (checkbox next to it) and then click Update PDF or Update .DOCX, and then select yes in the pop-out.
