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.

Web Editor
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 (iOS/Apple)
Mobile App (Android)
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

Full roll out to all iOS and Android devices

Web Editor
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.

Automations
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.

Calendar
Improved Status Icons on the Calendar
What's New
Status icons on the calendar now include small visual indicators (complete, incomplete, in progress) alongside the existing agreement, payment, and report icons.
Why It Matters
You can now see the status of payments, agreements, and reports at a glance, making it faster and easier to understand where each inspection stands without clicking into details.
Details
- Each status icon (agreement, payment, report) now displays a small status indicator
- Checkmark indicates completed
- X indicates incomplete or failed
- In progress indicator shows ongoing actions
- Available on the calendar view
Timing & Audience
This update is available to all users as of today.
