Yes! GovWell allows you to easily edit the results of past inspections.

You can access the Edit Inspection Results feature from either the Inspections tab on a record page or from the Inspections Table View.

📖 From the Record page

Locate the three dots menu on the right side of the inspection you want to edit and select Edit Results.

💡 From the Inspections Table View

Select the inspection you want to update, then go to Actions → Edit Results.

An Edit Logged Inspection Result window will appear – simply update the necessary details and confirm your changes!

Worth noting that editing results will:

  1. Generate a new Inspections Report

  2. Add an entry to the Activity History

  3. Email the applicant about the updated results (staff will not receive an email)

Editing results will not:

  1. Editing results will not count towards the total number of attempts, but it might complete the inspection workflow step if you update it from a Fail to a Pass result
