Evidence Pack

Package saved pages in a form that is easier to hand off to someone else.

An evidence pack is a ZIP containing the saved HTML, screenshot, metadata, and third-party timestamp files. Guest saves can still receive the timestamp workflow, but downloading the ZIP itself is a Pro feature.

What goes into the evidence pack

  • Saved HTML and screenshot
  • Metadata with the original URL, saved time, and hashes
  • Files used to verify the external timestamp
  • Supporting files such as AI summaries and extracted text

Files to open first

Even if the ZIP contains around 15 files, they do not all matter equally. Start with these.

  • archive.html: the saved page you can open in a browser
  • screenshot.*: the captured visual proof
  • metadata.json: original URL, saved time, and exported file list
  • capture-manifest.json: the list of captured files and their hashes
  • timestamp-response.tsr: the TSA timestamp token itself

What the supporting files do

  • checksums.sha256: SHA-256 list for the exported files
  • summary-ja.txt / summary-en.txt: AI summaries
  • extracted-text.txt: extracted readable text
  • timestamp-request.tsq / capture-manifest.sha256: technical verification helpers

When this matters

  • You need to hand the record to counsel or an internal legal team
  • You need to share the saved state quickly with a client or leadership
  • You need to explain later what was saved and when

Why this page exists

The current evidence pack contents are broadly reasonable. The real problem was discoverability: users could not tell which files were primary evidence and which were supporting files. This page, together with START-HERE.txt inside the ZIP, fixes that.
