Why use signature response questions?

Signature response questions let you add a digital signature to a question in your template, confirming it's been reviewed or approved, not just checked off. This is useful for formal sign-offs, like a site supervisor confirming a safety inspection before a shift starts. Capturing a signature at the point of inspection creates a clear accountability trail, so you can always show who approved what, and when. The signature response type in an inspection.

Published changes made to templates only apply to new inspections moving forward.
