[Exports & reports](https://support.syncforce.com/knowledge/exports-reports?hsLang=en) # Why is an export / report marked as inactive? ## Exports / reports which have been deactivated in the Exports & Reports Administration module are marked as '(inactive)'. When an export / report is marked with the text '(inactive)' behind it, the export / report has been deactivated. ### What means an inactive report? A report can be deactivated because it's no longer applicable for you as a customer, the data is from previous years (for example a project list report for year 2022). The generated reports stay available for you as a user but it's no longer possible to request the report again. When a export / report gets updated by SyncForce because additional information is added to the export / report, the existing report is always updated to the new version. Only in exceptional situations the old report will be deactivated and the new report will be activated. ### How to activate an inactive export/report again? - Go to 'Exports & Reports » Exports & Reports Administration' - Filter on 'Inactive' (top right) - Unfold the report (click on the V on the left) and see the report variants which have been deactivated - Click on the link 'Activate' to activate the report again - Go to 'Exports & Reports » Exports & Reports' and see that the report is listed again without the text '(inactive)' behind it. ### How to remove access in bulk for an inactive report? - Go to 'Exports & Reports » Exports & Reports Administration' - Filter on 'Inactive' (top right) - Unfold the report (click on the V on the left) and see the report variants which have been deactivated - Click on the report and see all users with access to this report - Delete them individually or select the checkboxes and click 'Remove selected'   - [Industry & Regulatory Knowledge](https://support.syncforce.com/knowledge/industry-regulatory-knowledge?hsLang=en#main-content) - [Product Portfolio](https://support.syncforce.com/knowledge/industry-regulatory-knowledge?hsLang=en#product-portfolio) - [Packaging & PPWR](https://support.syncforce.com/knowledge/industry-regulatory-knowledge?hsLang=en#packaging-ppwr) - [EU Digital Product Passport - DPP](https://support.syncforce.com/knowledge/industry-regulatory-knowledge?hsLang=en#eu-digital-product-passport-dpp) - [GS1 & GDSN](https://support.syncforce.com/knowledge/industry-regulatory-knowledge?hsLang=en#gs1-gdsn) - [Food & Label Information](https://support.syncforce.com/knowledge/industry-regulatory-knowledge?hsLang=en#food-label-information) - [EPR & Sustainability Data](https://support.syncforce.com/knowledge/industry-regulatory-knowledge?hsLang=en#epr-sustainability-data) - [Product Identification & GTIN](https://support.syncforce.com/knowledge/industry-regulatory-knowledge?hsLang=en#product-identification-gtin) - [PIM & Data Architecture](https://support.syncforce.com/knowledge/industry-regulatory-knowledge?hsLang=en#pim-data-architecture) - [Product Data Management](https://support.syncforce.com/knowledge/product-data-management?hsLang=en#main-content) - [Packaging Data Management](https://support.syncforce.com/knowledge/product-data-management?hsLang=en#packaging-data-management) - [Product data imports](https://support.syncforce.com/knowledge/product-data-management?hsLang=en#product-data-imports) - [PDM setup and config](https://support.syncforce.com/knowledge/product-data-management?hsLang=en#pdm-setup-and-config) - [Digital Asset Management](https://support.syncforce.com/knowledge/digital-asset-management?hsLang=en#main-content) - [FileConvert](https://support.syncforce.com/knowledge/digital-asset-management?hsLang=en#fileconvert) - [Project Portfolio Management](https://support.syncforce.com/knowledge/project-portfolio-management?hsLang=en#main-content) - [Team & Planning](https://support.syncforce.com/knowledge/project-portfolio-management?hsLang=en#team-planning) - [Proofing & Approval](https://support.syncforce.com/knowledge/project-portfolio-management?hsLang=en#proofing-approval) - [Budget & Spend Management](https://support.syncforce.com/knowledge/project-portfolio-management?hsLang=en#budget-spend-management) - [Resource Management](https://support.syncforce.com/knowledge/project-portfolio-management?hsLang=en#resource-management) - [To Do (task & actions)](https://support.syncforce.com/knowledge/project-portfolio-management?hsLang=en#to-do-task-actions) - [Project definition](https://support.syncforce.com/knowledge/project-portfolio-management?hsLang=en#project-definition) - [Product Catalog](https://support.syncforce.com/knowledge/product-catalog?hsLang=en) - [Media Library](https://support.syncforce.com/knowledge/media-library?hsLang=en) - [Product Data Syndication](https://support.syncforce.com/knowledge/product-data-syndication?hsLang=en#main-content) - [GS1-GDSN](https://support.syncforce.com/knowledge/product-data-syndication?hsLang=en#gs1-gdsn) - [DataPorts](https://support.syncforce.com/knowledge/product-data-syndication?hsLang=en#dataports) - [PS in Foodservice](https://support.syncforce.com/knowledge/product-data-syndication?hsLang=en#ps-in-foodservice) - [REST API](https://support.syncforce.com/knowledge/product-data-syndication?hsLang=en#rest-api) - [Document Automation](https://support.syncforce.com/knowledge/document-automation?hsLang=en) - [Exports & reports](https://support.syncforce.com/knowledge/exports-reports?hsLang=en) - [Business Network Management](https://support.syncforce.com/knowledge/business-network-management?hsLang=en#main-content) - [Single Sign-On](https://support.syncforce.com/knowledge/business-network-management?hsLang=en#single-sign-on) - [Services & Support](https://support.syncforce.com/knowledge/services-support?hsLang=en) - [Partner Support](https://support.syncforce.com/knowledge/partner-support?hsLang=en) - [General setup](https://support.syncforce.com/knowledge/general-setup?hsLang=en) - [Campaign management](https://support.syncforce.com/knowledge/campaign-management?hsLang=en) - [General](https://support.syncforce.com/knowledge/general?hsLang=en) [![Chill listening crop-3](https://support.syncforce.com/hs-fs/hubfs/SyncForce_plus_1024-2.png?width=105&height=24&name=SyncForce_plus_1024-2.png "Chill listening crop-3")](https://www.syncforce.com/) Copyright © 2026, SyncForce
