Review the Sync Queue tabs and retry any items marked with a green information button.
Power cycle your device and toggle the Sync settings in the app.

If problems persist, navigate to Settings > Troubleshooting > Upload Error Log within the app to assist the support team.
Resolving Network Timeouts
Network timeouts during photo uploads can often be attributed to poor internet connections:
Connect to a strong Wi-Fi network or ensure a stable cellular data connection.
If issues continue, provide screenshots or an error log to the support team.
Ensuring Successful Sync from App to Website
To ensure inspections sync from the HappyCo app to the website:
Verify that the latest version of the Happy Property Maintenance App is installed.
Connect to a strong Wi-Fi connection, especially for inspections with photos.
Check the status of any open tickets related to syncing issues.
Review the inspection status in the app and provide screenshots if needed.
Template Sharing and Syncing
For inspections not syncing due to template issues:
Ensure the template is shared with the location where you're performing inspections.
Share the template business-wide if necessary.
Press the 'Retry' button on the failed sync item in the app.
Advanced Troubleshooting
If you've tried the above steps and are still facing issues:
Review the sync settings on your device as outlined in the support articles.
