Before publishing, review the report and choose any contacts who should receive the inspection report when it is published. When selected contacts are included, they receive the report by email after publication. The recipient controls require inspection-report write access and **Email inspection reports** to be on in Settings -> Work Management -> Tasks -> Task Documents. The same setting controls **Send Report** on the submitted report page and its Job task; it is separate from Job Summaries. You can publish while offline. The report is saved on the device and publishes automatically when the device reconnects, and its PDF appears in the job files at that point. Previewing the PDF and emailing the report need a connection, so a report published offline is not emailed to anyone. Publish while online when contacts should receive it. > **Where to find it:** Mobile app > Visits > open a visit > Start Inspection > asset group > a draft or Create New Report > the last step (Review & Publish unless the report form renames it) > Publish Report ## Related guides * [Fill inspection reports on mobile](/field-operations/mobile/fill-inspection-reports.md) * [Save, publish, and reopen inspection reports on mobile](/field-operations/mobile/save-publish-and-reopen-inspection-reports.md) * [Download or email an inspection report](/field-operations/inspection-reports/download-or-email-an-inspection-report.md) * [Task Documents: send and attach supporting documents](/administration/settings/task-documents-send-and-attach-supporting-documents.md) * [Work offline and sync mobile changes](/field-operations/mobile/work-offline-and-sync.md) --- # Agent Instructions This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com. ## Querying This Documentation If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation by asking a question. Perform an HTTP GET request on the following URL with the `ask` and `goal` query parameters: ``` GET https://learn.withessential.com/field-operations/inspection-reports/publish-and-email-inspection-reports-from-mobile.md?ask=&goal= ``` `ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language. `goal` is what the user is ultimately trying to achieve, the reason they need the answer. Sharing it helps GitBook give you a better, more relevant answer. A goal is most helpful when it describes the outcome the user wants rather than restating the question. For example, with `ask=how do I create an API token`, a goal like `automate deployments from our CI pipeline` lets GitBook tailor the answer to that use case. The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation. Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
