A worked example
Shown solved, with the whole explanation open: this is what every question here carries.
An analyst opens a saved report to change what it returns. Where does Splunk say the report opens?
Correct.
Checked against help.splunk.com, August 2026Concept
A saved object remembers how it was built, so editing it puts you back in the same tool. That keeps a pivot editable by somebody who never learned the search language.
Why B
Splunk states that you can open the report and edit it so that it returns different data or displays its data differently, and that your report opens in either Pivot or Search depending on how it was created.
