## What to take out of Spectora

- To export a template, open **Templates**, then **My Templates**, select the template, choose the three dots in the top right corner, then **Export to spreadsheet**, then **Export Plain Text** or **Export HTML Text**, then **Download File**.
- Exporting needs the **Edit Template** permission, turned on under **Settings**, then **Teams**.
- Plain text removes any HTML elements such as links, videos and images, as well as styling such as bold or italics. HTML keeps all your comments intact, including links, styling and formatting.
- To save a report’s PDF, open the inspection, choose **View** under the report, then **PDF**, then the summary or full PDF, then download or print.
- Photos come from the V10 web report. Each one is downloaded and saved individually.
- Under **Contacts**, choose **Clients** or **Agents**, then **Export Clients** or **Export Agents**, for a CSV. Exporting needs the **can manage contacts** permission, enabled on the Team page.
- **Data Exports**, in the dashboard menu, are available on all accounts. The Inspection Data export includes all inspection details, and the file downloads for a spreadsheet or other tools. Custom data exports need Advanced.

## What InspectDay rebuilds

- Your inspection templates, with their sections, areas and items.
- Your own comments, as findings and recommended actions in your libraries.
