Quick Publish lets you make inspection reports accessible through the Client Portal without sending emails to clients or agents. This is ideal for managing multiple reports without triggering a "Report Ready" email for each one.

Publish All will send your "Report Ready" email to the client and agent, letting them know that their inspection report has been published.

Both publishing options are readily available on the Inspection Details page of your Spectora inspections! In this article, we'll show you how to use Quick Publish and Publish All for your reports.
