Weekly Web Editor Bug Fixes

What's New
Two fixes to the Web Editor this week — one for reinspection display accuracy and one for report copying reliability.
What We Fixed
  • Reinspection status icons now display correctly
    — The thumbs up icon was showing for both resolved and unresolved items in the reinspection Web Editor. Unresolved will now show thumbs down.
  • Copy Report now copies the report you actually selected
    — When copying a report, the previously-selected report was being duplicated instead of the newly-selected one. The copy action now correctly targets the report you choose.

Mobile App (Android)

Android App Version 10.30.4

What's New
Version 10.30.4 for Android delivers stability and usability fixes, plus a required update to the card scanning experience for in-app payments.
Details
Bug fixes
  • Fixed a crash in single-shot camera mode that occurred every time a photo was taken; rapid-fire camera was not affected
  • Fixed photo gallery upload order — photos selected from your device gallery now attach in chronological order instead of random order
  • Fixed missing
    "Photo," "Photos,"
    and
    "Video"
    button labels in app comments caused by large font size settings
  • Fixed Info Only defect comments appearing in app search results; these are now correctly excluded
  • Fixed the 3-dot comment menu on tablet devices collapsing before users could make a selection
Card scanning update (required by Google Play Store)
  • Google Play Store requirements have changed how card scanning works on Android
  • To scan a card, tap the
    Card number
    field; your keyboard will appear with saved Google Wallet cards shown above the number pad
  • Scroll the card row to find
    "Scan new card"
    , or tap the card icon in the top-left of the keyboard to open the full card menu
  • Your client's card will not be saved to your Google Wallet
    — the number is read into the payment field only
  • If your own saved cards appear, nothing goes through without your approval (CVV or biometric confirmation required)
Note:
iOS is unaffected — the Scan card button remains in the payment form as-is.
Timing & Audience
Version 10.30.4 is rolling out gradually to all Android users over the coming days.

Weekly Web Editor Bug Fixes

What's New
A handful of Web Editor bugs have been fixed this week — covering comment display, video playback, upload UI, PDF generation, and report copying.
What We Fixed
  • Multiple Choice Defect Comments — "See More" Expansion:
    Truncated defect comments on multiple choice items now include a "See More" option, consistent with how standard comments behave.
  • Multiple Choice Comment Answer Ordering:
    Fixed a bug where multiple choice comment answers appeared in the order they were clicked rather than the order set in the editor, in both web and PDF reports.
  • 10-Bit HDR Video Playback:
    Videos filmed in HDR that previously failed to process (or played incorrectly) will now convert properly and play across all major browsers.
  • Cover Photo Upload Spinner:
    The loading spinner no longer lingers after a cover photo uploads successfully.
  • PDF Generation for Multi-Report Inspections:
    Fixed an issue where PDFs showed "report still in progress" even after publishing, when an inspection contained multiple reports and not all were published.
  • Report Copy Selecting Wrong Report:
    Fixed a bug where copying a report to another inspection would copy the previously-selected report instead of the one you actually selected.

Dashboard

Settings

Team Management

Notification Controls

What's New
You can now control which notifications each member of your team receives, and how they get them. Admins manage notification preferences for every inspector from one place, while individual inspectors choose their preferred delivery method — email, in-app, or both.
Why It Matters
This change gives you granular control to make sure the right people get the right notifications, reducing unnecessary notification clutter for you and your team.
Details
  • Admin-level control over team notifications — Manage notification settings for each inspector from Settings → Team → Team Notifications, or from the gear icon in the Notifications section of your Dashboard
  • Inspector-level delivery preferences — Each team member can choose how they receive notifications (email, in-app, or both) from Settings → User Settings → Edit Notifications, or via the gear in their Dashboard's Notifications section
  • Disable by type or by message — Turn off an entire notification category for someone, or keep the category active and silence just one specific message within it
Timing & Audience
Team Notification Settings are rolling out gradually to all Spectora accounts over the next couple of weeks. Once available in your account, admins can start configuring preferences for their team from the Settings menu.

Mobile App (iOS/Apple)

iOS Mobile App Version 10.30.4

What's New
Version 10.30.0 delivers stability and usability fixes across iOS, addressing crashes, menu behavior, scroll issues, and photo ordering — with several fixes specifically targeting iPad and the recent iOS 26 update.
Why It Matters
These fixes resolve disruptions that were interrupting inspection workflows — from menus that wouldn't stay open to summary scroll issues — so you can move through your inspections without fighting the app.
Details
  • Fixed the top-right 3-dot menu and search dropdown on iPads that were collapsing immediately or crashing the app
  • Fixed search menu behavior in landscape mode on iPad — menus were dismissing before users could interact with them
  • Fixed dialogs disappearing on iPads running iOS 26+, including the back button confirmation and annotator settings reset dialogs
  • Fixed cover photo not updating when taken from the camera on iOS 26
  • Fixed Summary report scroll position resetting to the top after editing a comment or viewing a photo
  • Fixed missing "Photo," "Photos," and "Video" button labels in app comments caused by large font size settings
  • Fixed Info Only defect comments appearing in app search results; these comments are now correctly excluded
  • Fixed the 3-dot comment menu on tablet devices, collapsing before users could make a selection
Timing & Audience
Version 10.30.4 is rolling out gradually to all iOS users over the coming days. Update your app to get the latest fixes.

Web Editor

Weekly Web Editor Bug Fixes

What's New
Several fixes this week across the web editor, reinspections, and report delivery — covering everything from broken image loads to a PDF that apparently never learned how to read.
What We Fixed
  • Report name link clickable before report finishes building:
    The report hyperlink on the Inspection Details page is no longer clickable until the report is fully generated, preventing dead-end clicks mid-build.
  • Published report showing "How to access your report" screen instead of the report
    : Fixed an issue where clients could not access published reports through the client portal despite all agreements being signed and payment received in full. Clients were incorrectly routed to an access checklist screen rather than the report itself.
  • Reinspection images not loading unless original report is open (V10):
    Report media is now properly copied to reinspections, so images load as expected without needing the original report open in the background.
  • 4-Point report showing empty section headers when no photos are present:
    Section headers in 4-Point reports no longer appear when there are no associated photos, keeping the output clean and professional.
  • Unable to add captions or location tags to reinspection photos:
    Captions and location tags can now be added to reinspection photos without issue.
  • Reinspection PDF report name breaking mid-word:
    Line breaks in reinspection PDF report names now fall between words, not in the middle of them.

Bug fixes and improvements: discount codes, calendar, and inspection details

What's New
A handful of quality-of-life improvements and bug fixes across payments, agreements, scheduling, and the inspection details experience.
Why It Matters
Less friction in everyday workflows — discount codes accept the formats you actually use, calendar previews load reliably, and a few longstanding payment and integration quirks are now resolved.
Details
Improvements
  • Discount codes now accept hyphens:
    Codes like
    2026-VIP
    are now valid — dashes are no longer stripped.
  • "Link" payment label on Payout Details:
    Payout Details now correctly displays "Link" (instead of "Card") when Link was used as the payment method, matching the rest of the UI.
  • Agreement display when inspector is hidden:
    When the "hide inspector name and photo" agreement setting is enabled, the inspector area now shows blank space instead of the company logo and name — important for companies operating multiple sub-brands under one Spectora account.
Bug Fixes
  • Calendar hover popover:
    Fixed sporadic failures where the inspection detail popover wouldn't render when hovering over calendar entries.
  • $0 payments in Fees & Payments modal:
    Resolved odd behavior where $0 payments were reassigned to the Primary Client or Primary Balance section after refresh, plus a small alignment fix on the Refund modal's Cancel button.
  • RecallChek submission in manual mode:
    Inspections created in "manual mode" (charges added directly rather than selected from the catalog) now properly submit to RecallChek.
  • Inspection Details edit error:
    Fixed an HTTP2 protocol error some users hit when editing the Inspection Details page in Chrome.
Timing & Audience
All users — these changes are live in production now.

Web Editor

Weekly Web Editor Bug Fix

What's New
A display issue causing video captions to disappear in expanded view has been resolved.
What We Fixed

Web Editor

Weekly Web Editor Bug Fixes

What's New
The web editor now supports full keyboard navigation, along with several bug fixes improving editor reliability and display accuracy.
Why It Matters
Power users can move through inspections without touching the mouse — faster, more fluid editing from start to finish.
Details
Keyboard Navigation
  • Arrow Up/Down
    navigates between sections, items, and comments in their respective panels — clamps at first/last (no wrap)
  • Switching comment type tabs
    resets panel navigation so the next keypress starts from the top
  • Arrow keys inside text editor
    behave normally — no panel navigation interference
  • Cmd+Enter (Mac) / Ctrl+Enter (Win)
    saves comments in both the Add Comment modal and the inline editor; Enter alone creates a new line
  • Tab / Shift+Tab
    navigates location buttons in the Media Caption modal; Enter saves and closes
Bug Fixes
  • 2026 Wind Mitigation Special Form V10 badge
    users on V9 get a clear error message that the form is V10 only
  • Ampersand character in template spreadsheet exports
    now displays correctly instead of showing
    &
Timing & Audience
Available now to all web editor users.

Calendar

Calendar Paid Icon Status Sync fixed

What's New
A calendar icon display bug has been resolved — inspections that were fully paid would sometimes still show a red (unpaid) icon after an add-on was added and then removed post-booking.
What We Fixed
  • Calendar icon incorrectly showing as unpaid after add-on removal:
    If an add-on was added to an inspection after the initial payment and later removed without any additional charge, the inspection remained paid — but the calendar icon wasn't reflecting that. The icon now correctly updates to show the paid status in this scenario.
