# Viewing Trusted Advisor checks for your workload
<a name="ta-checks-page"></a>

If Trusted Advisor is activated for your workload, a **Trusted Advisor checks** tab is displayed next to **Question**. If there are any checks available for the best practice, a notification that there are Trusted Advisor checks available is displayed following the question selection. Selecting **View checks** takes you to the **Trusted Advisor checks** tab.

On the **Trusted Advisor checks** tab, you can view more detailed information about the best practice checks from Trusted Advisor, view links to the Trusted Advisor documentation in the **Help resources** pane, or **Download check details**, which provides a report of the Trusted Advisor checks and statuses for each best practice in a CSV file.

+ **Action recommended (red) **– Trusted Advisor recommends an action for the check.
+ **Investigation recommended (yellow)** – Trusted Advisor detects a possible issue for the check.
+ **No problems detected (green)** – Trusted Advisor doesn't detect an issue for the check.
+ **Excluded items (gray)** – The number of checks that have excluded items, such as resources that you want a check to ignore.
