Editing
A generated scope is a starting point. You'll shape it to match what the drawings show and what your company assumes.
- Edit inline. Click or double-click almost any field — an item's text, its quantity, its unit, its CSI code — and change it directly on the scope.
- Edit with chat. Ask chat to make changes in bulk, e.g. Consolidate the plumbing items into bid-ready lines or Add an exclusion for trenching. See Editing with Chat.
- Move, combine, and split. Move an item from one scope to another, combine two scopes, or split one apart — by hand or through chat.
- Regenerate. Re-run a single section or a whole trade's scope through chat when you want a fresh draft reflecting the latest documents and issues. Struction warns you before overwriting edits you've made.
- Verify. Mark items as verified as you confirm them. Verifying before you send to subs is how you turn an AI first-draft into a scope you stand behind.
Good to know — Edits autosave and are stamped with who made them and when. A small "saved" indicator confirms it.
Tip — Items that don't fit cleanly into any one trade become Scope Gaps rather than being forced into the wrong scope. Resolving gaps is part of finishing a scope — see Scope Gaps.
Workflow example — Bid day is Thursday. You open the Mechanical scope, verify the inclusions you trust, fix two items where the drawings show more than the draft caught, ask chat to consolidate a dozen detailed lines into bid-ready items, clear the one scope gap that belongs to HVAC, and confirm the Open Issues are resolved or accepted. The scope is ready to export.
