Saved Runs is v2.0's answer to "compare today's audit to last week's". It persists the full audit state under a name you choose, and shows a side-by-side diff with the current state on demand.
Saving a run
- Get the panel into a state you want to remember (e.g. post-consent, all tags fired, audit grade settled).
- Click Save run in the panel header.
- Name it (e.g.
pre-launch · staging). - The run is persisted to
chrome.storage.local.
What's saved
- Tag inventory (platforms, IDs, fire counts)
- Full event stream
- Cookie audit
- Consent timeline + classifications
- dataLayer log
- SST findings
- PII findings
- Audit grade + breakdown
- Host + URL + timestamp + Pixel Auditor version
The Saved Runs modal
Open from the panel header (clock icon). Lists every saved run with name, host, timestamp, and grade. Up to 10 entries — saving an 11th deletes the oldest.
Loading a run for comparison
- Open the Saved Runs modal.
- Click Compare next to the run you want.
- The current panel splits into a side-by-side diff view: saved run on the left, current state on the right.
What the diff highlights
| Change | Highlight |
|---|---|
| Tag added | + green on the right |
| Tag removed | − red strikethrough on the left |
| Fire count changed | delta badge: +3 or −1 |
| New violation | red row in the diff list |
| Resolved violation | green strikethrough in the diff list |
| Grade changed | Old grade → new grade in the header |
Use cases
- Pre-launch vs. post-launch — save the staging audit, compare to production after release
- Before/after a fix — save the broken state, fix it, diff to confirm the fix worked
- Periodic baseline — save once a week, watch tag drift over time
- Cross-environment — save staging audit, switch to prod, diff (different URLs but the diff highlights tag-config drift)
Storage
Saved Runs live in chrome.storage.local. They are local to your device and never sent anywhere. They survive browser restarts but not extension uninstall — uninstalling clears them.
Cap and pruning
v2.0 caps Saved Runs at 10 per browser. Saving an 11th deletes the oldest. To delete manually: Saved Runs modal → × next to the entry.
tip
Combine Saved Runs with Export Report: save the run, export the report. Both are useful for different audiences — the report is a polished hand-off, the saved run is your working diff base.
