Web Editor
Weekly Web Editor Bug Fixes
What's New
This week's release includes fixes for issues affecting final report navigation, signature field display, and placeholder rendering in the Web Editor.
What We Fixed
- Table of Contents navigation on mobile browser— Clicking a section in the TOC side menu would intermittently fail to navigate to the correct section, especially after scrolling up and re-selecting.
- Signature field displaying when empty— Empty or removed signature fields were still appearing in the report preview. Edit buttons were also getting cut off when a signature section landed at the bottom of a page. Both are resolved.
- Inspector notes placeholder rendering <p> tags— The {{INSPECTOR_NOTES}} placeholder was outputting raw HTML tags in the Web Editor, Web Viewer, and PDF instead of clean text.

Zapier Integration Bug Fix
What's New
We fixed an issue where updating tags on agent records wasn't always triggering the "record updated" signal in Zapier, which meant some tag changes weren't being picked up by Zapier workflows.
What We Fixed
- Agent record tag changes not triggering Zapier updates — Adding or removing tags on an agent record now correctly fires the "record updated" event, ensuring your Zapier workflows run as expected.
Note:
A similar issue exists for client record tag updates and is being addressed in an upcoming fix.fixed

Mobile App (Android)
Mobile App Version 10.29.2
What's New
Two fixes in this release: inspection photos now save to organized, inspection-specific albums as expected, and reinspection report summaries correctly display observation data instead of a false "all clear."
What We Fixed
- Photos not creating inspection albums when saving to device— When "Save Media to Gallery" is enabled, photos save again to an inspection-specific album in addition to the general gallery on both iOS and Android. This makes it much easier to find the right photos when uploading from your gallery later.
- Reinspection report summary showing no data— The summary view in reinspection reports now correctly displays all observations (both inspection and reinspection categories). Standard inspection filters also apply, so you're no longer greeted with a "Looking good over here" message when there's actually data to show.
Timing & Audience
Available to all users in version 10.29.2, now fully released.

Weekly Bug Fixes
What's New

- Instant Payout option missing from Payments page- Instant Payout option now appears correctly on the Payments page when available
- Directed to Client Portal after making edits to Agreements- Fixed unexpected redirect to Client Portal when editing Agreements

Inspection Management Bug Fixes
What's New
We fixed a couple of bugs related to agent placeholders and inspection events.
What We Fixed
- Listing agent placeholder details missing after removing the first agent — When a second Listing Agent on an inspection became the first agent (due to the original first agent being removed), their details weren't populating in Automation placeholders. This is now resolved.
- Orphaned events after removing a service — Previously, removing a service from an inspection left its associated event behind, requiring you to manually track it down and delete it. Now the system will prompt you for whether or not to remove the event when you remove the service.

Weekly Web Editor Bug Fixes
What's New
We squashed a couple of bugs affecting PDF output and inspection publishing. Both fixes improve reliability for day-to-day inspection workflows.
What We Fixed
- Checkboxes misaligned in TREC 7-6 PDF rating column— Checkbox alignment corrected so I, NI, NP, and D options are properly centered under their column headers in PDF output.
- "There was an error publishing this inspection" requiring logout/login workaround— Resolved an authentication session issue that caused publishing failures after extended use. Publishing now works reliably across the Web Editor, report preview, and mobile app — no more forced logout to send out reports.

Mobile App Version 10.29.0
What's New
Version 10.29.0 delivers a round of targeted improvements to AI Comment Assist on mobile, along with a fix for password manager support at login.
Why It Matters
Less retyping, less hunting, less friction — especially for inspectors working in the field with one hand and a tight schedule.
Details
- AI Comment Assist button is now fixed above the keyboard on New Comment and Edit Comment screens — it stays visible at all times instead of scrolling out of reach
- Comment title now auto-populates the AI prompt field when opening AI Comment Assist, matching existing web behavior and eliminating redundant typing
- AI Comment Assist comment type now defaults to "Checkbox" for Information, Limitation, and Defect comment types (previously defaulted to Multiple Choice)
- Password manager autofill now works on the login screen, supporting 1Password, LastPass, iCloud Keychain, Google Password Manager, and others
Timing & Audience
Full roll out to all iOS and Android devices

Web Editor Bug Fixes
What's New
This week's release addresses two visual issues in the Web Editor: an awkward spacing gap in PDF reports and a broken dropdown in the Defects tab.
What We Fixed
- PDF Report Header Spacing– Fixed an excessive whitespace gap that appeared between short header text and the first section of content in PDF reports.
- Recommendations Dropdown in Defects Tab– Fixed a visual display issue where the Recommendations dropdown was overlapping other UI elements in the Defects tab, making it difficult to select an option. The dropdown now renders and aligns correctly.

Updating "Actions" naming to "Advanced Automations"
What's New
We've updated the naming of "Actions" to "Advanced Automations" (or "Automations") throughout the Settings and Inspection Details screens to maintain consistency with the Advanced Automations management experience.
Why It Matters
If you're newer to Spectora, the old "Actions" label could cause confusion. The updated naming makes it clearer that these sections are referring to the Advanced Automations.
Details
- All references to "Actions" in Settings and Inspection Details now read "Advanced Automations" or "Automations"
- No changes to functionality — everything works exactly as before
- This is a naming update only
Timing & Audience
- Available immediately for all Advanced plan users

Integrations
Calendar
Recurring events on Google Calendar sync
What's New
We fixed a longstanding issue where recurring events from Google Calendar were not syncing to Spectora. If you have Google Calendar integrated with Spectora, recurring events will now appear on your Spectora calendar as expected.
What We Fixed
- Recurring Google Calendar events not syncing to Spectora — Previously, only single events synced correctly. Recurring events added in Google Calendar now sync to Spectora automatically for users with the Google Calendar integration enabled. Learn how to set up the Google Calendar integration
Timing & Audience
This fix is rolling out gradually over the course of this week to ensure sync stability between Spectora and Google. If you don't see the change right away, hang tight — it'll be coming your way soon.
