The Report Builder makes it easy to share your research results and demonstrate compliance efforts.

Need to go back to an earlier search? Nexis Diligence keeps a history of searches you perform, along with information about how the search was performed and the number of results that were found, based on the result category you viewed. You can rerun a search from History anytime during the 30 days after your initial search.
