Below are the notable changes to the Project level Inspections tool.
To streamline document management and collaboration, users can now attach Document Management files directly to Inspection items. This update introduces a comprehensive attachment data table, allowing teams to view both Document Management files and standard attachments seamlessly within the unified viewer. Users can also change item status, add comments, track historical updates via change history, deep links to the viewer, and view attachment tables and direct links directly within system emails and PDF exports. Learn Which tools can attach Document Management files? and What is the difference between Document Management attachments and attachments from other tools?
Users with the appropriate permissions can now create multiple copies of an Inspection at once, streamlining the process and reducing administrative time. The Inspections Bulk Create feature empowers teams to efficiently generate inspections and leverage them as tools for tracking quality progress throughout the project lifecycle.
Procore has enhanced the reinspection process to help you track quality and safety more efficiently. You can now reinspect closed inspections, carrying over original responses and linking the new inspection for streamlined reporting. To learn more, see Create a Reinspection.
When creating an inspection program, you can select a piece of equipment to be inspected. See Create an Inspection Program.
You can filter inspections and inspection programs by equipment. See Search and Filter Inspections and Search and Filter Inspection Programs.
Procore has introduced conditional logic to Company and Project level inspection templates, enhancing the flexibility and efficiency of inspections. Inspections Conditional Logic allows users to configure inspection line items so that responses control the display of subsequent items, reducing the need for multiple templates and improving accuracy. To learn more, see What is conditional logic within the Inspections tool?
Procore has streamlined the deployment of inspection templates from the project level to the company level, introducing a 'Clone to Company' feature for easy assignment.

When viewing the list of Inspection templates, two new columns show which templates require observations and photos, and for how many items. This gives you additional visibility into how your templates are configured. See Create a Project Level Inspection Template.
You can now do the following with inspection line items: require a photo and/or observation based on selected responses, add references such as drawings, photos, forms and more and lastly, you can now add signatures to an inspection line item. These updates to the Inspections tool focus on enhancing flexibility, granularity and accountability.
