## Browsing artifacts ### `artifacts:reports`
> - From GitLab 9.2, PDFs, images, videos and other formats can be previewed directly in the job artifacts browser without the need to download them.
> - Introduced in [GitLab 10.1](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab-foss/-/merge_requests/14399), HTML files in a public project can be previewed directly in a new tab without the need to download them when [GitLab Pages](../../administration/pages/index.md) is enabled. The same applies for textual formats (currently supported extensions: `.txt`, `.json`, and `.log`).
> - Introduced in [GitLab 12.4](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab/-/merge_requests/16675), artifacts in private projects can be previewed when [GitLab Pages access control](../../administration/pages/index.md#access-control) is enabled.
After a job finishes, if you visit the job's specific page, there are three
buttons. You can download the artifacts archive or browse its contents, whereas
the **Keep** button appears only if you have set an [expiry date](../yaml/README.md#artifactsexpire_in) to the
artifacts in case you changed your mind and want to keep them.
![Job artifacts browser button](img/job_artifacts_browser_button.png)
The archive browser shows the name and the actual file size of each file in the
archive. If your artifacts contained directories, then you are also able to
browse inside them.
Below you can see what browsing looks like. In this case we have browsed inside
the archive and at this point there is one directory, a couple files, and
one HTML file that you can view directly online when
[GitLab Pages](../../administration/pages/index.md) is enabled (opens in a new tab).
![Job artifacts browser](img/job_artifacts_browser.png)
## Downloading artifacts
If you need to download the whole archive, there are buttons in various places
in the GitLab UI to do this:
1. While on the pipelines page, you can see the download icon for each job's
artifacts archive in the right corner:
![Job artifacts in Pipelines page](img/job_artifacts_pipelines_page.png)
1. While on the **Jobs** page, you can see the download icon for each job's
artifacts archive in the right corner:
![Job artifacts in Builds page](img/job_artifacts_builds_page.png)
1. While inside a specific job, you are presented with a download button
along with the one that browses the archive:
![Job artifacts browser button](img/job_artifacts_browser_button.png)
1. And finally, when browsing an archive you can see the download button at
the top right corner:
![Job artifacts browser](img/job_artifacts_browser.png)
## Downloading the latest artifacts
It is possible to download the latest artifacts of a job via a well known URL
so you can use it for scripting purposes.
NOTE: **Note:**
The latest artifacts are created by jobs in the **most recent** successful pipeline
for the specific ref. If you run two types of pipelines for the same ref, the latest
artifact will be determined by timing. For example, if a branch pipeline created
by merging a merge request runs at the same time as a scheduled pipeline, the
latest artifact will be from the pipeline that completed most recently.
Artifacts for other pipelines can be accessed with direct access to them.
The structure of the URL to download the whole artifacts archive is the following:
```plaintext
https://example.com/<namespace>/<project>/-/jobs/artifacts/<ref>/download?job=<job_name>
```
To download a single file from the artifacts use the following URL:
```plaintext
https://example.com/<namespace>/<project>/-/jobs/artifacts/<ref>/raw/<path_to_file>?job=<job_name>
```
For example, to download the latest artifacts of the job named `coverage` of
the `master` branch of the `gitlab` project that belongs to the `gitlab-org`
namespace, the URL would be:
```plaintext
https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab/-/jobs/artifacts/master/download?job=coverage
```
To download the file `coverage/index.html` from the same
artifacts use the following URL:
```plaintext
https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab/-/jobs/artifacts/master/raw/coverage/index.html?job=coverage
```
There is also a URL to browse the latest job artifacts:
```plaintext
https://example.com/<namespace>/<project>/-/jobs/artifacts/<ref>/browse?job=<job_name>
```
For example:
```plaintext
https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab/-/jobs/artifacts/master/browse?job=coverage
```
There is also a URL to specific files, including html files that
are shown in [GitLab Pages](../../administration/pages/index.md):
```plaintext
https://example.com/<namespace>/<project>/-/jobs/artifacts/<ref>/file/<path>?job=<job_name>
```
For example, when a job `coverage` creates the artifact `htmlcov/index.html`,
you can access it at:
```plaintext
https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab/-/jobs/artifacts/master/file/htmlcov/index.html?job=coverage
```
The latest builds are also exposed in the UI in various places. Specifically,
look for the download button in:
- The main project's page
- The branches page
- The tags page
If the latest job has failed to upload the artifacts, you can see that
information in the UI.
![Latest artifacts button](img/job_latest_artifacts_browser.png)
## Erasing artifacts
DANGER: **Warning:**
This is a destructive action that leads to data loss. Use with caution.
You can erase a single job via the UI, which will also remove the job's
artifacts and trace, if you are:
- The owner of the job.
- A [Maintainer](../../user/permissions.md#gitlab-cicd-permissions) of the project.
To erase a job:
1. Navigate to a job's page.
1. Click the trash icon at the top right of the job's trace.
1. Confirm the deletion.
## Retrieve artifacts of private projects when using GitLab CI
In order to retrieve a job artifact of a different project, you might need to use a private token in order to [authenticate and download](../../api/jobs.md#get-job-artifacts) the artifacts.

After a job finishes, if you visit the job's specific page, there are three
buttons. You can download the artifacts archive or browse its contents, whereas
the **Keep** button appears only if you've set an [expiry date](../yaml/README.md#artifactsexpire_in) to the
artifacts in case you changed your mind and want to keep them.
![Job artifacts browser button](img/job_artifacts_browser_button.png)

1. While on the pipelines page, you can see the download icon for each job's
artifacts archive in the right corner:

1. While on the **Jobs** page, you can see the download icon for each job's
artifacts archive in the right corner:

## Downloading the latest artifacts
It's possible to download the latest artifacts of a job via a well known URL
so you can use it for scripting purposes.
NOTE: **Note:**
The latest artifacts are created by jobs in the **most recent** successful pipeline

artifact will be determined by timing. For example, if a branch pipeline created
by merging a merge request runs at the same time as a scheduled pipeline, the
latest artifact will be from the pipeline that completed most recently.
Artifacts for other pipelines can be accessed with direct access to them.
The structure of the URL to download the whole artifacts archive is the following:
```plaintext
https://example.com/<namespace>/<project>/-/jobs/artifacts/<ref>/download?job=<job_name>
```
To download a single file from the artifacts use the following URL:
```plaintext
https://example.com/<namespace>/<project>/-/jobs/artifacts/<ref>/raw/<path_to_file>?job=<job_name>
```
For example, to download the latest artifacts of the job named `coverage` of
the `master` branch of the `gitlab` project that belongs to the `gitlab-org`
namespace, the URL would be:
```plaintext
https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab/-/jobs/artifacts/master/download?job=coverage
```
To download the file `coverage/index.html` from the same
artifacts use the following URL:
```plaintext
https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab/-/jobs/artifacts/master/raw/coverage/index.html?job=coverage
```
There is also a URL to browse the latest job artifacts:
```plaintext
https://example.com/<namespace>/<project>/-/jobs/artifacts/<ref>/browse?job=<job_name>
```
For example:
```plaintext
https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab/-/jobs/artifacts/master/browse?job=coverage
```
There is also a URL to specific files, including HTML files that
are shown in [GitLab Pages](../../administration/pages/index.md):
```plaintext
https://example.com/<namespace>/<project>/-/jobs/artifacts/<ref>/file/<path>?job=<job_name>
```
For example, when a job `coverage` creates the artifact `htmlcov/index.html`,
you can access it at:
```plaintext
https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab/-/jobs/artifacts/master/file/htmlcov/index.html?job=coverage
```
The latest builds are also exposed in the UI in various places. Specifically,
