Method 1: Edit from the Action Menu
Each Daily Log / Site Diary includes a 3-dot icon (...) menu on the right side. This menu provides all available actions for that specific log.
Click the 3-dot icon to access the following options:
1. Edit - Use this option when something in the log needs to be updated or completed.
For example, you may have created a Daily Log / Site Diary earlier in the day and later need to:
Add missing details
Attach photos from the site
Adjust weather information
Update what’s shared with the client
Select Edit, make your changes, then click Save.
2. View - Use this option when you want to review a log without making changes.
Selecting View opens the Daily Log / Site Diary in read-only mode, where you can see the log details.
💡Tip - From this screen, you can switch to Edit if you notice something that needs updating.
3. Share - Use this option when you want to make the log visible to your client.
Selecting Share allows you to:
Share the Daily Log / Site Diary with the client
Make it visible in the client portal
💡Tip - This helps maintain consistent communication without sending separate updates manually.
4. Watchers - Use this option to keep specific team members informed about a log.
In practice, you might add a project manager to monitor updates, include a stakeholder who needs visibility into site activity, or remove users who no longer need notifications.
Selecting Watchers allows you to:
View current watchers
Add or remove users
Once added, watchers will receive notifications whenever the Daily Log / Site Diary is updated.

5. Delete - Use this option when a log is no longer needed.
This may happen if a log was created by mistake, duplicate entries exist, or the information is no longer relevant.
Selecting Delete will permanently remove the Daily Log / Site Diary along with all associated data and history.
ℹ️ Note - This action is permanent and cannot be undone.
Method 2: Open and Edit from the Log View
You can also edit a Daily Log / Site Diary from the List view.
Click on the Date and time of the log.
The log will open in Edit mode.
Make your changes and click Save.
Bulk Actions for Daily Logs / Site Diaries
While editing is done per log, Buildern allows you to manage multiple Daily Logs / Site Diaries at once using bulk actions.
Navigate to Daily Logs / Site Diaries → List.
Select one or more logs using the checkboxes on the left.
A bulk action toolbar will appear at the bottom of the screen.
From here, you can:
Share multiple logs at once
Delete multiple logs
ℹ️ Note - Bulk editing is not supported. Each Daily Log / Site Diary must be edited individually.
Use Filters to Locate Logs
When working with multiple Daily Logs / Site Diaries, scrolling through the entire list can be time-consuming - especially on active projects with daily entries.
To quickly find the logs you want to edit, use the filters at the top of the page:
Search – enter keywords to locate logs by description or content
Created by – narrow results to logs created by a specific user
Label – filter logs based on assigned tags
Type – organize logs by their type
Date – select a specific date or range to focus on a time period
In the top-right corner of the Daily Logs / Site Diaries page, you’ll find a few quick-access actions:
Create Daily Log – Click + Create Daily Log to add a new entry and record daily site activity.
Download – Use the download icon to export your logs for reporting or sharing.
View options – Adjust how logs are displayed to better fit your workflow.
Your Buildern journey continues in the next tutorial, where we’ll unlock even more tools and workflows.
Happy building!
