Duplicate or copy inspections

Learn how to duplicate inspection responses via the web app and the mobile app to quickly start new inspections using existing information without copying responses manually.

What does it mean to duplicate inspections?

Duplicating an inspection creates a copy of an existing inspection, including its responses and notes. This lets you start a new inspection using existing data without manually copying responses, making it useful for repeating similar inspections or running recurring checks across sites.

When duplicating inspections, here's what to expect:

  • Actions and media attachments you've added to the inspection aren't duplicated.

  • The inspection's duration continues from the original inspection rather than resetting.

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

What you'll need

If you don't have the option to duplicate inspections, the option may be turned off for your organization. Contact your admin if you need to duplicate inspections.
