# Turn what Virent observed into a short list of work.

> How Virent Actions turns visibility, analytics and crawler evidence into prioritized tasks - action types, groups, confidence, and how to start, complete or dismiss them.

Last updated: 2026-10-19

Actions reads your Visibility, Analytics and crawler data and suggests specific tasks, each with the evidence behind it and the prompts it should move. You decide what to do.

## Where to find it

Open **Actions** in the sidebar. It is on every plan and open to every role except Billing; viewers can read it but not change it.

| Tab | Contains |
| --- | --- |
| To do | Suggested actions you haven't started |
| In progress | Actions you started |
| History | Done, dismissed and resolved actions. Virent marks an action Resolved when its check no longer finds the problem. |

Each tab is one table, highest impact first, with the action's group, impact, evidence, due date and owner. Filter it by group: **Setup**, **Technical**, **Your pages**, **New content** or **Off-site**.

## Action types

| Group | Examples |
| --- | --- |
| Setup | Connect AI crawler tracking, install the browser SDK, turn on prompt monitoring |
| Technical | Fix error responses on a path, let a crawler reach your pages, get a page crawled again, add structured data |
| Your pages | Make a page worth citing |
| New content | Win a prompt, publish a page for a prompt |
| Off-site | Get listed on a domain that answers already cite |

## Work an action

Open an action to see:

- **What to do**: the task, in concrete steps.
- **Prompts it should move**: the tracked prompts the action is meant to improve.
- **Effect**: what changed after you completed it, measured on those prompts.
- **History**: who started, completed or dismissed it, and when.

Then choose **Start**, **Mark done** or **Dismiss** (with a reason). For content actions, **Start in Content Agent** (or **Update with Content Agent** for an existing page) opens the opportunity in [Content Agent](/docs/content-agent/overview) when it is enabled.

## How actions are chosen

- Actions come from rules over your own data, not from a language model, and don't use AI credits.
- Each action shows the evidence it rests on and a confidence level, for example "Based on 12 answers · low confidence".
- Virent never acts outside your workspace: off-site actions tell you where to get listed; they don't contact anyone.
- An improvement after an action is an association. Answers vary day to day, and other changes happen at the same time.
