# Free assessment

The **free assessment** is a public upload flow on the Repository page. You give it a dependency manifest, lockfile, or SBOM; Seal parses it; and the results page tells you which of the packages in your file have sealed versions available, with severity counts. No sign-in required.

The upload URL is [`https://app.sealsecurity.io/repository/packages/upload`](https://app.sealsecurity.io/repository/packages/upload). It is a public link, suitable to share with a colleague or to send to a prospect who wants a quick read on whether Seal would fix anything in their stack.

## Steps

1. Open the upload URL.
2. Drag your file onto the upload area, or click to browse.
3. Wait for the file to be parsed. You land on the results page.

## Supported file types

The free assessment accepts the same formats as the [in-tenant Import from file flow](/new-documentation/new-docs/importing-manifests.md):

* **Dependency manifests and lockfiles**: `package-lock.json`, `pnpm-lock.yaml`, `yarn.lock`, `requirements.txt`, `Pipfile.lock`, `*.csproj`, `go.mod`, `composer.lock`, `Gemfile.lock`.
* **SBOMs**: CycloneDX or SPDX, in JSON.
* **Snyk CSV exports**.

`package.json` is not accepted; use `package-lock.json` or another lockfile that pins resolved versions.

## The results page

After upload, you land on a results table. Each row is one package from the uploaded file, with:

| Column              | Contents                                                            |
| ------------------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| **Package**         | The package name.                                                   |
| **Version**         | The version pinned in the file.                                     |
| **Vulnerabilities** | The vulnerabilities affecting the package, color-coded by severity. |
| **Ecosystem**       | The package's ecosystem.                                            |
| **Fix available**   | A badge marking rows for which Seal has a sealed version ready.     |

Above the table:

* **Download** the results as CSV.
* **New file upload** to start over with a different file.
* A search box for filtering the table by package name or CVE.

The results page does not require an account; the same anonymous URL works.

## After the assessment

A free assessment is a snapshot. To bring the same picture into a Seal tenant for ongoing remediation, see [Importing manifests & SBOMs](/new-documentation/new-docs/importing-manifests.md), which uses the same file types but lands the data in a Seal Project under your tenant.
