What happens once a restoration or conservation activity is completed? It's time to monitor it's impact. Use **Inspection Logs** to track visits to the activity site and share observations of the functionality.

## Inspection Logs

Once your restoration or conservation activity is installed to specification, the next critical step is to monitor its ongoing impact. Completing the implementation phase doesn't mean that the work is done - in fact, it marks the beginning of long-term observation and stewardship.

The FieldDoc **Inspection Logs** feature allows the owners of the activity records to systematically track site visits and document post-implementation conditions. This is especially important for ensuring that Best Management Practices (BMPs) are functioning as intended and that any issues are detected early.

## Step-by-Step Instructions

1. Open the **Inspection Log** view within the **Edit Activity** modal.
2. Select '**+ Add inspection report**\`.&#x20;
3. Enter in the date of the inspection.
4. Select if the BMP was functioning, or not functioning.
5. Type in additional notes.
6. Click Save.

The system will log the user who entered the report as "attested by", this is not an editable field.&#x20;

If you have additional documentation, such as photos or pdfs you can add those in the [Documents](/essentials/documents.md) and [Images](/essentials/images.md) tabs within the activity record.

You can add as many inspection reports as you would like to each activity record.
