Comments — the phrases you use over and over

What this screen is for. Comments are the phrases you use over and over. Save them once; tap them into a finding while you inspect, and they print in the report. Your library arrives already stocked with HomeRecon's starter pack — and it learns your own phrases over time. How to get there. Sidebar → Inspections, then Comments in the row of links under the header. Four tabs: Your comments · Starter packs · Import comments · Learn from my inspections. What every button does Your comments: New comment — opens the editor: a Title, the Comment text (talk or type — the green Talk button dictates), and an optional Section and Line so it surfaces first where it belongs. Rewrite with AI tightens it in your firm's voice; Fix grammar fixes spelling and punctuation without changing your words. Search comments… and the section chips — find anything fast; chips show each section's count. Tap a comment to edit it. Comments that came with the starter pack wear a quiet HomeRecon badge — edit one word and the badge drops, because now it's yours. The trash deletes a comment for good, after asking. Starter packs: The HomeRecon pack card reads "In your comments — added when you signed up" — a brand-new firm never starts with an empty library. The card shows how many comments it holds and a preview of a few. Remove all takes the pack's comments out — anything you've edited is yours and stays, and Install puts the pack back any time (comments you already have are skipped, and the note tells you honest counts). Import comments: The import screen is right here — HomeGauge, Spectora, or ISN, pre-set to your comment library, no detour to Settings. The mechanics are covered in Import data. Learn from my inspections: Run reads your finished reports section by section and proposes the phrases you actually use as new comments. Nothing is ticked for you — tick what you want and tap Save to Your comments, or Discard. It needs 5 finished reports first, and the button tells you how many you have. Below it, a second, smaller learner ("Knowledge that learns") proposes reusable facts for your reports' appendix — same rules: it only runs when you press it, and only saves what you tick. Common questions "What's a comment, exactly?" A reusable phrase — "Recommend evaluation by a licensed contractor" — that you tap into a finding while inspecting. It prints under that finding in the client's report. "Where did all these comments come from on day one?" HomeRecon's starter pack is added when you sign up. They're sorted by section, most common finding first, and each one wears the HomeRecon badge until you make it your own. "How do I add my own?" New comment → talk or type it → pick its section → Add comment. "How do I clear out the starter comments?" Starter packs → Remove all. Your edited ones stay; reinstall any time. "Why did my comments change wording when I changed my Tone?" Unedited pack comments ship in all four voices and follow your firm's Tone (set on AI Settings) — same facts, your register. Comments you wrote or edited keep exactly the words you gave them. "How do I bring my library over from my old software?" The Import comments tab — it's already set to comments; pick your old tool and follow along. "Does the AI stick comments into my reports on its own?" No. The AI never invents comments — only the ones you attach reach a report. What the AI does do is prefer your wording: when it writes up a spoken note, your top comments for that section guide the phrasing, so a gutter note comes back in your gutter sentence. Good to know Comments are for the roles that capture inspections. An office admin doesn't see the link, and a saved link sends them back to the dashboard. "AI assist isn't available right now" on Rewrite / Fix grammar / Talk means the AI is briefly unreachable — the page still works; you can edit by hand. Learn never runs by itself and never saves anything you didn't tick. Old bookmarks to the previous "Snippets" page land here automatically.
