Export all photos from the report:

2. Click the Three-Dot Menu.
   
3. Click Export Photos.
   
4. Click Export. The photos are exported to your device gallery.
5. When done, click Cancel.
   

Export photos stored in the Web Writer Moblie App

You can see all photos from the inspection reports on your Web Writer Moblie App. Here you can see if the pictures have been synced. You can export individual photos here as well.

3. Click Photos. If Sync is true, the photos are synced to the Cloud. If Sync is false, they are not. Clicking Sync to the Cloud on the main Menu will sync the photos.
