Wouter Blom (ID: 000000dcd48259f0) Voted 1 ★ - Updated 08/25/2023 Does not really add value for me. the only thing that works is the excel download. i installed, refereshed the page, restarted my browser, reauthenticated again, but no visual overview. I do see the button in Search console with Incidents, but that does only show a list.
