Enhancement:Excel Export & Re-upload for Audit Checklists

Module: Audit Module → Audit Checklist

Current State: The "Print Checklist" function exports the checklist to PDF only. This works for viewing/archiving but offers no ability to manipulate or feed data back into the system.

Request:

Introduce an "Export to Excel" option that allows users to:

  1. Export the full audit checklist into a structured .xlsx file, preserving all items, sections, statuses, and notes.

  2. Amend offline — add, remove, or edit checklist items in Excel using familiar tools (sorting, filtering, bulk-editing).

  3. Re-upload the modified file back into OSS, with the system validating the structure and flagging any errors before applying changes.

  4. Audit the checklist itself — maintain a version history log showing what was changed, by whom, and when, so the checklist can be referenced for amendments and compliance evidence.

Why it matters:

  • Large checklists are tedious to edit line-by-line in the UI. Excel gives auditors speed and flexibility for bulk changes.

  • Operators need to tailor checklists per audit scope, aircraft type, or regulatory update, and often need to collaborate on changes before committing them.

  • A tracked import history satisfies internal QA and regulatory requirements around document control and traceability.

Suggested UX:

  • Export uses a locked-header template so re-uploads can be validated consistently.

  • On re-upload, display a change preview/diff before committing.

  • Each import event is logged in the checklist's history with user, timestamp, and change summary.

  • Attach files
