Update issues

Learn how to update issues via the web app and the mobile app to keep all reported information accurate and up to date.

What can I update in an issue?

You can update an issue's details at any stage after it's been reported. From the issue profile, you can change its status, capture detail changes, link an investigation or an asset, create an action, or add supporting files. Regular updates reduce confusion, prevent gaps in communication, and keep follow-up work on track. This makes issue updates useful for field teams, managers, and anyone who needs a clear record of what changed and what happens next.

For example, a field technician can update the status and attach photos immediately after an inspection. Their manager can then pick up the same record to link a formal investigation and assign corrective actions.
