Create and delete sections

Learn how to create and delete sections in the Template Editor via the web app and the mobile app.

What are sections?

Sections are groups of questions bunched together. They are a great way to organize questions within your templates to help you and your team progress through inspections easier and improve the reading experience for report stakeholders.

Take note

  • Deleting a section also deletes any questions nested within.

  • You can also convert the sections you create into repeat sections, allowing you and your team to repeat the same set of questions as many times as needed in a single inspection.

Published changes made to templates only apply to new inspections moving forward.
