# Using the web viewer

After [running an eval](/docs/getting-started), view results in your browser:

```sh
npx promptfoo@latest view
```

See [`promptfoo view`](/docs/usage/command-line#promptfoo-view) for CLI options.

![Results charts](/img/docs/web-ui-results-charts.png)

### Pass Rate

Percentage of tests where all [assertions](/docs/configuration/expected-outputs) passed.

### Score Distribution

Histogram of scores per prompt. Each test score = mean of its assertion scores. See [weighted assertions](/docs/configuration/expected-outputs#weighted-assertions).

### Scatter Plot

Compare two prompts head-to-head. Click to select prompts.

- **Green** = Prompt 2 scored higher
- **Red** = Prompt 1 scored higher
- **Gray** = Same score
