In Spectora, including photos in your inspection reports adds valuable visual context for your clients. However, you may occasionally need to move photos between comments to ensure the right images are aligned with the correct findings. This guide will walk you through the simple steps to move photos from one comment to another, ensuring your report remains organized and professional.

Tips for Managing Photos in Spectora
Use Descriptive Captions: When adding photos, use clear captions to describe the issue shown in the image. This improves understanding for clients.
Organize Photos Efficiently: Group similar photos together in the same comment or section to avoid clutter and confusion.
Preview Your Report: Always preview the report after moving photos to ensure everything is aligned properly and looks professional.
Re-arranging Photos within a Comment: You can easily drag and drop to re-arrange photos within the same comment in the web editor. Once you drop the photo your changes will automatically save. This is helpful to organize your photos.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can I move multiple photos at one time in my report?
Unfortunately not. Each photo will need to be moved individually.
I'm filling out multiple reports for an inspection and added my photo to the wrong report. Can I move the photo from one report to another on the same inspection?
No. The move photo function will only move a photo from one comment to another within the same report.
To move a photo from one report to another, you'll need to delete the photo from the existing report and add it as a new photo in the other report.
