# Viewing a candidate's session evidence

## This article applies if you want to see what a candidate actually did during their assessment, beyond the score: the files they wrote and the commands they ran.

### In short

Next to **Show report**, **Open explorer** opens the candidate's environment as they left it, in a web IDE-style explorer: the content of the files they wrote and the history of the commands run in their terminal. This is what makes the report defensible: the candidate works alone in the environment, and you see their work as is.

### Steps

1. Open the campaign and find the candidate's row. The status must be **Completed**.
2. Click **Open explorer**, next to **Show report**.
3. Browse the file tree to read what the candidate wrote, and the terminal history to see the commands they ran.

### What happens next

The explorer is read-only: nothing you open changes the report or the evidence. You can come back to it at any time as long as the campaign exists, including after archiving.

### Limits and permissions

- Any member of your organisation can access the explorer for the campaign's candidates. A partner can, for the candidates they see, according to their rights.
- The explorer shows the final state of the environment, not a video of the session.
- The report states what was verified; the explorer lets you assess other aspects yourself — readability, structure, technical choices — that are not part of the Scalyz assessment.

### Need help with this?

Write to the Scalyz CSM team: [success@scalyz.com](mailto:success@scalyz.com).

If your organisation has a dedicated CSM, you can reach them directly by phone and email, and time is reserved for your account.
