I’d like to request an improvement to the Reports section regarding the active working window used for writing/editing documents.

Currently, the visible editing area is quite limited—often only enough to comfortably view a paragraph or small section at a time. This makes drafting, reviewing, and editing longer reports difficult because it is hard to see the surrounding content, understand page flow, or make revisions in context.

It would be extremely helpful if the workspace could function more like a traditional document editor, with the ability to:

  • View an entire page at once, or substantially more of the document.
  • Scroll naturally through the document while maintaining a larger editing area.
  • See preceding and following paragraphs while actively editing a section.
  • Review page layout, headings, spacing, and overall document flow.
  • Optionally expand the editor into a full-screen or dedicated document-editing mode.

For report writing in particular, editing only a small portion of the document at a time makes it difficult to evaluate continuity, formatting, and organization.

Ideally, the experience would feel closer to Word or Google Docs: the full document remains visible and navigable while the user edits directly within it.

A larger, page-oriented editing workspace would make the tool significantly more useful for professional report drafting and revision.

We are a structural engineering firm testing Company Cam's reporting capabilities. If you improve the interface, we are all in on Company Cam for issuing reports. Thanks!

Hey there! 👋

This is a great write-up! Thanks so much for the detail on everything you're looking for in a reporting tool.

Good news: most of what you're describing already exists with Documents. Here's what that gets you right now:

📄 One continuous, scrollable document instead of editing a section at a time. Preceding and following content stays visible while you work.
📐 Page breaks shown right in the editor, so you can see exactly where content lands on the page without previewing or downloading a PDF. Review your layout, spacing, and flow live as you type.
🧭 A Table of Contents down the side for jumping around a long report instead of scrolling to find your place.
🎨 Branded headers and footers, cover pages, section breaks, and flexible photo + text blocks so a 40-page inspection report holds its formatting.

Two things worth flagging so you're not surprised: there isn't a dedicated full-screen editing mode at the moment, and Documents don't support multiple people editing at the same time, so it's best to have one person driving at a time.

I'll share our help articles on how to create Documents and how to edit them.

Give the Documents a try and let us know what you think!
