October 13, 2026 Update

A brand-new Tasks page

Tasks has been rebuilt from the ground up. You'll find it under Management; it uses the same tasks you already have, so nothing to move over.

Views

List, Board, Timeline, Workload, My week and Projects: plan the way that suits you.
Saved views: keep your favorite filters a click away.
Changed since yesterday: see what moved overnight.
Studio load and Walter's insight on the Timeline: spot crunch weeks before they hit.

Building the plan

Add task lines everywhere, a quick right-click menu, and Select with a bulk bar.
Delete goes to a Trash you can restore from, and Duplicate copies subtasks, people and estimates.
Phases: open a phase panel, drag phases on the Timeline, add phases, and move everything after a phase in one go.
Ad hoc tasks for work outside any phase.
Tasks from a template: place a project type's phases and tasks, or pick individual task templates, starting on the date you choose.
Repeating tasks: finish one and the next appears.
Progress, Outside its phase warnings and fee hours against what you allocated.
Task links with gaps, e.g. "starts 2 days after Paint finishes".

Products and deliveries

Waiting on: link a task to the products it needs. You'll see live delivery dates and product photos straight from your Library.
Delivery changes bar: know the moment a delivery date moves and which tasks it pushes late.
Move this to after it arrives or Do it without product: two clicks when something's late.
Create a task from products: select products in the Library and start a task that's already waiting on them.

Your team

Adding someone to a task tells them. The project manager hears about new tasks.
Project panel with a project manager and a team description.
Files, Comments, Time and Activity on every task. The Time tab shows who logged each entry, with their photo.
Edit-conflict check: if someone else changed a task while you were editing, you'll see both versions instead of overwriting.
Studio closures show on the Timeline and in the task panel.

Clients and contractors

Tell people: when dates move, let every client and stakeholder on the project know in one step, with Undo.
Client approvals go from the task straight to the client portal.
Preview as client and Draft a client update.
Contractors get their own schedule link and can tell you whether the dates work for them.
Install-day sheet, ready to print.

Export a PDF

Add product now gives you three choices:
- a blank product;
- a piece from your room placeholders, with its room, category, quantity and budget;
- a copy of a product you already have.
Both of the last two ask which project to source to. The + under any product offers the same three choices.
Copy a product's URL in one click.
Drag to reorder now sticks.
New products start in your studio's first status. Hiding that status from clients now works for them too.
Product names: Tasks shows each product's own name, matching the Library.

The timer knows your task. Started from a task, it picks up the project's phases and rooms and selects the task's phase.
Services in Track time and Log time:
- A per-person rate always makes the service available to that person.
- Team & billing assignments only narrow the list for the people they name.
New permissions:
- Review time and reopen it: reviewed time is locked.
- Change a time entry's status.
Logging time from a task works reliably.

Internal chats stay internal. A new chat keeps exactly the people you choose: unticked clients aren't added back, and the chat stays out of their portal.
Faster everywhere:
- Comms, the client portal and room opening all load noticeably faster.
- The portal's sections load as you open them.
The client portal overview shows your project brief properly.

Renaming a team member renames them everywhere, Tasks and project teams included.
One look for project pills and avatars across the app.
Automations: task triggers (created, status changed, completed, assigned) now fire from the new Tasks page too.

Reset password has a fresh design and shows the password rules as you type.
Sessions:
- Each login stays on its own side of the browser.
- Ended sessions are closed in live chat and notifications.
Login link emails are just the button, with no long pasted link.
Stronger protection across the app: each studio's records, files and links are walled off from every other studio's.

Contracts: signing fields sit exactly where they were placed.
Uploads: task files upload reliably and appear in the Files tab, and errors explain exactly what went wrong.
Date fields in Tasks open the calendar wherever you click.
Removing a "Waiting on" product or task link asks first.
Contractor schedule and shared task pages show "Powered by Workroom" and no support chat.
