Save reports to a report server (Report Builder)

In Report Builder, you can save a report definition to a report server, also known as publishing a report. When the report is saved to a report server, other users can view the report. Each time you run the published report, you retrieve the most current data. To save a static copy of a rendered report, export the report to a different file format and save it or use the report history feature to save versions of rendered reports.
