Duplicate or copy inspections

Learn how to duplicate or copy inspections via the web app and the mobile app.

What does it mean to duplicate inspections?

Duplicating an inspection creates a copy of that inspection, including its responses, notes, and media attachments. This can be useful if you need to start a new inspection based on an existing one, rather than copying existing responses across manually.

Please note that the following behaviors apply to each duplicated inspection:

  • Actions you create in the inspection aren't duplicated.

  • The inspection's duration will continue on from the original inspection's duration, rather than resetting.

  • The inspection's document number remains the same as the original inspection's until it's edited.

What you'll need

An inspection can’t be duplicated if its template has been deleted.
