Weekly Web Editor Bug Fixes

What's New
We've fixed two bugs affecting the Web Editor experience, one that prevented you from logging out properly and another that displayed ampersands incorrectly in inspector, client, and agent names.
What We Fixed
  • Logout now works correctly
    - Fixed an issue where clicking logout would redirect you to the dashboard without actually logging you out of Spectora
  • Ampersands display properly in names
    - Fixed an issue where ampersand symbols (&) in inspector, client, and agent names were displaying as "&amp" instead

Google and Apple SSO Sign-In Added

What’s New
We’ve added Google and Apple Single Sign-On (SSO) as login options to make it easier to log in to Spectora.

Details
  • Log in to your existing Spectora account with any email address tied to a Google or Apple login.
  • You can use SSO or traditional username-and-password logins interchangeably; no need to pick just one.

    – Tap any shape to edit it or drag to create new annotations
  • Custom color palettes
    – Save and reuse your go-to colors
  • Undo/redo and reset all
    – Quickly fix mistakes or start fresh without losing your work
  • Built for the future
    – This new foundation lets us ship improvements and new features faster

Weekly Web Editor Bug Fixes

We've rolled out fixes that improve special form reliability and menu accessibility in the Web Editor.
What We Fixed
  • Fixed three-dot menu positioning
    – The three-dot menu for sections and items near the bottom of the screen now automatically repositions upward so all options (Duplicate, Move, Delete) are fully visible without needing to zoom your browser.
  • Locked special form templates to prevent PDF mapping issues
    – We've locked editing capabilities on Citizens Roof Inspection, Wind Mitt, Florida 4-Point, and Texas WDI 2020 special forms to prevent changes that break PDF field mapping. You can no longer rename sections/items/comments, reorder content, or add new sections in these forms. This prevents the confusion and issues that happen when changes to the report don't show up on the final PDF.
  • Added CAHPI Report Template to Template Center
    – Canadian inspectors now have access to a template built to align with CAHPI Standards of Practice, eliminating the need to build from scratch or modify US templates.
