> Visitt allows Admins and Managers to reopen and complete missed inspections under specific conditions. This gives teams more flexibility to maintain consistency and accountability across recurring inspection schedules.

> * * *
> 
> # How It Works
> 
> You can reopen an inspection that was missed directly from the Closed Inspections tab. Once reopened:
> 
> - It moves to the **Open Inspections** tab.
> 
> - It remains open for **7 days** from the moment it's reopened (not customizable).
> 
> - Completing it will require a **Late Reason**.

> # Reopening Rules
> 
> To ensure consistency, inspections can only be reopened under all of the following conditions:
> 
> - **Frequency:** Only available for inspections with weekly or higher frequency. Hourly and daily inspections cannot be reopened.
> 
> - **Timing:** The inspection must have been missed within the last 3 months.
> 
> - **Sequence:** You cannot reopen a missed inspection if a newer inspection of the same type has already been completed or missed. For example, if you're in Week 3 and Week 2 has already been completed or missed, you can't reopen Week 1.
> 
> **Admins** always have access to reopen missed inspections. **Managers** must be granted the "Reopen missed inspections" permission by an Admin.
> 
> * * *
> 
> # Step-by-Step: Reopen and Complete a Missed Inspection
> 
> 1. Go to the **Inspections** page and click the **Closed Inspections** tab.
> 
> 2. If the inspection meets the criteria above, you'll see a **Reopen** option in the list.
> 
> 3. Click **Reopen**.
