# Publish and email inspection reports from mobile

Publishing an inspection report creates the finished PDF and adds it as a job file.

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 -> Tasks -> Task Documents. The same setting controls **Send Report** on the submitted report page and its Job task; it is separate from Job Summaries.

Publishing requires internet access. If the technician is offline, keep the report as a draft until the device reconnects, then publish it.

> **Where to find it:** Mobile app > visit detail > Start Inspection > Review & Publish

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://learn.withessential.com/field-operations/inspection-reports/publish-and-email-inspection-reports-from-mobile.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

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.
