Publish template drafts or revert unpublished changes
Learn how to publish template drafts or revert unpublished changes.
Why do I need to publish template drafts?
We understand that there are times when you might want to edit a template across several days, to make sure it's detailed and ready, before getting your team to start using it for inspections. With the Template Editor, you can make changes without worry as each edit will be saved in a draft state, leaving you in control of when to publish the changes. And remember, if you're editing a template that's already in use, your team won't get the latest changes until you publish the template draft.
Any changes you make in the Template Editor will be automatically saved as a draft. The status will be indicated by "Saving..." and "Unpublished changes saved".
What you'll need
Published changes made to templates only apply to new inspections moving forward.
