What is the Siteimprove QA Inventory?

The Quality Assurance (QA) Inventory is a tool with which you can review your site’s content. It contains an index of assets the QA scan has found on your site. It provides you with a content audit that can be exported and shared with other team members. 

The Inventory can be found at Quality Assurance > Inventory

Key highlights

There is a lot of valuable data available in the QA Inventory. Here we present some key highlights of that data.

Inventory Summary

The Inventory Summary provides an overview of how your content has changed over time with each crawl. It can be filtered by page group to help you investigate the data that’s important to you.

Pages

Under the pages menu, we show information on the pages found on your site including: 

• The number of referring pages there are for each page.
• If CMS Deep linking is configured, the option to open the page in your CMS.
