Users can choose to show or hide previous values from an Inspection if they would like field workers to fill out wholly new values instead of modifying old ones. Toggling this option can be done in the User Defined module when creating or editing an Inspection Type.

Info
Note: You will only be able to see previous values on the inspection form when you close the previous inspection on that same asset.
