Difference between attachment and Inspectly link:

Attachment:

• Upload a NEW image/file as part of the message

• Ideal for: New photos from the construction site, handwritten notes, documents not yet in Inspectly

Inspectly link:

• Link to a file that ALREADY exists in Inspectly’s file archive

• Ideal for: Existing drawings, approved documents, project files

Example uses:

• Foreman takes a photo of completed work and sends it in the project channel

• Subcontractor uploads a drawing with handwritten notes and sends it to the project manager

• QHSE manager attaches a photo of a safety hazard in the safety channel

• Project manager sends a PDF with meeting minutes in the project room
