Cover
Cover that ends when they come back.
When someone goes on leave, a secondment or a long holiday, Handover Pro gives the people covering what they need while they are away, and puts access back as it was when they return.
What goes wrong
The same problems, every time.
Nobody knows what is due
Deadlines and promises sit in an inbox nobody else can see.
Access in a hurry
Permissions added in a rush on the last day, and never taken away again.
Decisions stall
Nobody knows who can decide on the absent person's behalf.
The return is messy
Work done during the cover never makes it back to its owner.
The interview
Questions written for this kind of handover.
Alongside a question for every gap the map finds, Handover Pro asks questions like these. The person answers in their own words, and every answer can be cited in the document.
- What needs doing while you are away, and by when?
- Who should make decisions on your behalf, and which ones?
- Which meetings should the person covering go to?
- What can wait until you are back?
- Who should look after "Supplier rates 2026.xlsx" while you are away?
Step by step

Access goes back as it was.
The person going away never loses access; the people covering get access alongside them. On the return date the handover is flagged, End the cover puts access back as it was, and Start the handback opens a new handover in which each person covering hands the work back.
For planned and unplanned absence
Set up cover for parental leave, secondments, sabbaticals or long holidays in a few minutes, and keep the same record whatever the reason.
