Add or delete sections

Learn how to add sections in your templates to group related questions, or delete sections you no longer need via the web app and the mobile app.

What are sections?

Adding sections allows you to group related questions within your templates, creating a more structured flow for your team to progress inspections more efficiently and ensure no critical steps are overlooked. Sections also improve report readability by breaking down information into digestible parts, making it easier for relevant stakeholders to review key details at a glance.

You can only add up to 40 nested sections at a time.
