# Creating a Report

> Create AI-generated due diligence reports in the Report Composer.

The **Report Composer** lets you build structured due diligence reports from your project's documents. Every report is made up of individually generated sections that you describe in plain language, refine in plan mode, and then accept for generation.

## Opening the Report Composer

Inside a project, click the **Report Composer** tab in the navigation bar at the top of the project page. If no reports exist yet, you will see an empty state with a **Create Report** button.

## Creating a report

Click **Create Report** to open the **Create a report** dialog. You can start a report in four ways:

<AccordionGroup>
  <Accordion title="Mirror an existing report">
    Drag and drop an existing `.docx`, `.doc`, or `.pdf` (max 50 MB) into the **Mirror Existing Report** drop zone to generate a report that matches the uploaded document's structure. See [Mirroring a Report](/report-composer/mirroring-a-report) for details and the project summary requirement.
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="Blank report">
    Start from an empty report and build out the section outline yourself — either manually or by asking [Report Chat](/report-composer/report-chat) to add sections for you.
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="System template">
    Choose a pre-built template from Daedaline. Each template includes a predefined set of sections suited to common due diligence formats. Click a template card to create a report based on it.
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="Organisation template">
    If your organisation has saved custom templates from previous reports, they are available in the **Organisation templates** dropdown. Select a template from the list to create a report using your team's preferred structure.
  </Accordion>
</AccordionGroup>

Selecting any option immediately creates the report and opens it in **plan mode** — the editing workspace where you refine the section outline and generate content.

<Tip>
  Every new report lands in plan mode so you can review, rearrange, or rephrase sections before generation runs. Nothing is generated until you click **Accept & Generate Report**.
</Tip>

## The report list

All reports for a project are displayed in a searchable table. From this list you can:

* **Open** a report by clicking its name.
* **Download** a report directly from the row actions menu.
* **Delete** a report (requires confirmation).
