Add and delete sections
Learn how to add and delete sections in the Template Editor 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.
What you'll need
Published changes made to templates only apply to new inspections moving forward.
You can convert sections into repeat sections, allowing your team to repeat the same set of questions as many times as needed in a single inspection.
