Brief runs show only Your brief and Findings
On a PreCheck run with an applicant brief, City staff now see the same two tabs as the applicant, Your brief and Findings. Empty builder tabs such as Action Items no longer appear. Runs without a brief keep their usual tabs.

PreCheck results now arrive as a short applicant brief
Buena Park PreCheck applicants get a short, ordered brief instead of a list of roughly 300 worksheet checks. It groups the failed and flagged findings into steps in work order, and each step cites the findings behind it.

PreCheck results work on phones
On phones, result tabs scroll on one line, the findings toolbar keeps search and Assistant in reach, and Assistant opens as a bottom sheet. An opened finding shows its full title and a Show on sheet button, the plan sheet drawer opens at 75% of the screen, and wide tables scroll in their own box.
Daily limit on the PreCheck results chat
The chat on the PreCheck results page now follows the same per-user daily usage limit as every other chat, and shows a Chat paused notice instead of silently dropping a message. City staff accounts are no longer mistaken for applicants and keep Job Sites, Drive and the general chat.

Help article for reading applicant PreChecks
City staff in a PreCheck program now find a PreCheck category in Help, with an article on finding the PreCheck tab, searching by address, what each status means and what the staff summary shows. Only staff who can see the tab see the article.
PreCheck states it may miss requirements
Before starting, applicants now confirm that PreCheck may not catch every code requirement and that City staff may find more corrections in plan review. The terms add a matching "Not a Complete Review" section, so every applicant re-accepts the updated terms.
