How To Download an Evidence Pack With BetterShield Ultra?

2 min read

Save a private evidence pack for a chosen period and preserve its verification information.

With BetterShield Ultra, save a private evidence pack for a chosen period and preserve its verification information.

Note: These controls require the paid BetterShield Ultra add-on alongside the free BetterShield plugin.

What it does

Open BetterShield › Ultra › Sign-in report. The evidence pack collects relevant security records for review and handover. It is an export of retained evidence, not a backup of the website or proof that an unrecorded event never happened.

Step 1: Open Sign-in report

Open the evidence-pack card under Sign-in report.

Download an Ultra evidence pack: saved state and available controls in BetterShield.
Review the state and choices shown on your own site before applying a change.

Step 2: Download an Evidence Pack

  • Choose the available period and review the records it will include.
  • Download the pack and store it privately. Preserve the included verification information alongside the records.

Our advice: export evidence before a change to retention or an investigation that may need records beyond the site’s retention window.

What it can break and how to undo

The download can contain site and account activity. Share it only with the intended reviewer. Exporting reads records and does not undo incidents or change the log.

Final Outcome

Open the pack and confirm its period, included records and verification status. A failed or incomplete export must not be treated as complete evidence.

This is how you can download an evidence pack with BetterShield Ultra.
