Papertrail makes its new navigation the default, with classic view as a fallback.

◆Current state
Papertrail is an asset inspection and compliance tool for field teams. Its last substantive product change was the September rebuild of checklists with sections, typed responses and conditional logic. On November 5 the navigation it began rolling out in April went live for everyone: one Menu, folders and filters in a side panel, one-click site switching and search and scan fixed in the header.
◆Where it's heading
The changelog alternates between product education webinars and long-running UX projects that move from opt-in to default. Classic view remains available for now, which suggests a retirement date will follow once customers have moved.
◆Prediction
A notice removing the classic view is the likely next post, given the November release calls it available 'for now'.

    Papertrail launches conditional checklist logic — rebuilt from scratch

    ⚡ SPARK

    The September webinar announcement reveals Papertrail's checklist engine rebuild: structured sections, typed responses (date, multiple choice), and conditional logic that adapts the form based on answers. This is the most architecturally significant change to Papertrail's core inspection workflow and directly enables regulated-industry use cases that previously required workarounds.
