This will show up if the car has previously used the same template. We&#8217;ve made it very simple to use, and hopefully, this will put an end to having to leave the inspection to see previous recommendations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>When the Tech is inspecting a car that has a history, there is a new column that shows up to the left of the task description, and it is slightly grayed out:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"716\" height=\"314\" src=\"\/about\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/previous.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1828\" srcset=\"\/about\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/previous.jpg 716w, \/about\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/previous-300x132.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 716px) 100vw, 716px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>If you hover over the icon, you will see the previous recommendation, which shows the result of the last inspection. It looks like this:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"538\" height=\"208\" src=\"\/about\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/image-27.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1829\" srcset=\"\/about\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/image-27.png 538w, \/about\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/image-27-300x116.png 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 538px) 100vw, 538px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>If you choose to copy the info from the last inspection, simply click the icon, and you&#8217;ll have the option to copy the finding and recommendation from the previous inspection. If there are photos from the previous inspection, you can choose to copy those too.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"408\" height=\"394\" src=\"\/about\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/image-28.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1830\" srcset=\"\/about\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/image-28.png 408w, \/about\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/image-28-300x290.png 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 408px) 100vw, 408px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>In this sample, you can see that the brake fluid service was previously recommended, and you can simply copy it over.
