# Scoped reports

When editing a report from a different application scope than the current scope, actions modifying the original report are unavailable.

**Note:** This topic refers to Core UI reports, not Platform Analytics data visualizations.

To modify the original report, change the current application scope to the report's scope and make any changes.

The following actions are available from the **Save** menu after opening a report from a different application scope in the Report Designer. Other actions, such as **Update** are not available.

-   Insert
-   Insert and Stay
-   Schedule
-   Add to Dashboard
-   Export to PDF
-   Report History

You can create a new report based on an existing report, but within the current application scope using the **Insert** or **Insert and Stay** options.
