# Dismantles

Track the planned and completed dismantle stages of a scaffold and locate its historical dismantle record.

Dismantle records track the end of a scaffold’s operational lifecycle in CloudScaff. Planned dismantle dates and completed dismantles are different records of progress: a scheduled date does not mean the scaffold has been dismantled.

## Review upcoming work

Use Upcoming Dismantles to review scaffolds approaching their recorded dismantle dates. Check the site, scaffold code, location and date before taking an action. The log includes inspection, dismantle and extension actions where your role permits them.

## Record completed work

Use the scaffold’s dismantle workflow once the work is ready to be recorded as complete under your company’s process. Check the actual date and supporting notes. Scaffolds → Dismantles permissions distinguish Create, View and Approve access.

## Find the completed record

Completed dismantles appear in the Dismantle Log. The log retains scaffold details, erection and dismantle dates, notes and related certificates. Open the relevant record to review the history or download its dismantle certificate.
