Upload Photos to the Site Diary

Background

The Photos section allows you to upload photos associated with your daily log. This is an ideal place to collect progress photos of the jobsite for that day.

You can select and attach existing photos directly from the Procore Photos tool to the Daily Log too. This speeds up the daily reporting process for field teams and project managers by making all existing project photos readily accessible in one place.
