# Remove inappropriate content

When users encounter inappropriate content posted by other users, they may choose to [report it](/19/docs/report-inappropriate-content). As a Site Administrator you can review reported content using the embedded **Inappropriate content report**.

1. Go to *Quick-access menu > Reports > Manage embedded reports* (/totara/reportbuilder/manageembeddedreports.php).
2. Scroll down to find the **Inappropriate content report**.
3. Click **View**.
4. For each reported content item, select either **Remove content** or **Allow content** depending on whether or not you consider the content appropriate.

By default you can search by **User's Fullname** or report **Status**. However, as this is an embedded report a Site Administrator can customise the available search fields and filters.

You may want to run this report regularly as a scheduled report to ensure that you are aware of any inappropriate content on your site.

This report displays a list of posts that have been reported by users. Each row will show the **User** who posted the reported content, as well as the **Content posted** and the **Date reported**. Each row also includes a **Link** to the resource or comment. Finally the report displays the **Status** of the reported content. There are three options for the **Status** field:

- **Action required**: This status indicates that the reported content has not yet been reviewed by a Site Administrator. The Site Administrator needs to decide whether these reports should be **Removed** or **Allowed**.
- **Removed**: This status indicates that the reported content was reviewed by a Site Administrator and was deemed to be inappropriate, and was therefore removed from the site.
- **Allowed**: This status indicates that the reported content was reviewed by a Site Administrator and was deemed to be acceptable, so has not been removed from the site.
