After publishing, how long are the Report Links alive?

URL life, Report visible to the client.

Written by Support Team

After the report is published to the client/agent, the report URL link will be live as long as the inspection is in Spectora. If you delete the inspection, the report link will "die." Any updates to a published report are automatically reflected in the original web link, ensuring that agents or clients can always access the latest version of the report using the same link. Additionally, report links remain valid even if buyer's contact information is updated after publishing, as long as the report is published to the client portal.

We do not put a timeline on the report links, because after you publish and the client pays you, the report is their property. 

If you make changes to a report template after a report has already been created, those changes will not automatically apply to the existing report. To incorporate the updated template, you will need to create a new report or manually add the necessary updates to the existing report.

Using the "Publish All" feature within a specific inspection will only republish that inspection’s report. Spectora provides a prompt to manage notifications, ensuring that no additional notifications are sent to clients or agents unless explicitly chosen. This prevents unintended notifications while allowing you to clear inspections marked as "In Progress." Republishing an existing report does not incur additional charges, allowing you to update and republish reports without worrying about extra costs.

If you would like to make sure that you are not held accountable for things that happen to the house after a certain period of time, we advise that you put that within your Inspection Agreement.
