What's New

Each release of ProPlans, newest first, dated the day it went out. Your phone, tablet or computer may take a day or two to install it.

October 30, 2026

2026.10.30

New

In a document with several pages, the page count opens a grid of every page number, so you can go straight to any page.
The banner that shows a new notification inside the app has a close button.
On a tablet or a computer, conversations in Messages, rows in Notifications, people in a project's Contacts, documents and plan sheets have a ••• button with the actions you could otherwise reach only by pressing and holding or swiping them. A phone keeps to the swipe and the press, unless a screen reader is on.
A document's menu and a swipe in the list offer Download, which saves the document where you choose on your device.
About ProPlans lists the open source software the app is built with and the license of each, with a link to its website.
Settings has a Permissions section showing whether the app may send notifications and use the camera, your photos and your contacts, with a switch that asks for any it may not.

Fixed

Pressing and holding a conversation opens its menu again when the person in it has no trade in the project. It showed "Something went wrong" instead.
On a tablet or a computer, a task list, a note and the app's dialogs stay a readable width in the middle of the screen, rather than stretching from edge to edge.
Signed in on two devices, what you change on one shows on the other straight away: markups, notes, tasks, comments, messages and the rest of a project, without opening the sheet again.
With a keyboard, Escape closes what is in front, one thing at a time: a menu, an open list, the reactions popup, a panel that slides up from the bottom, Messages, the side menu, and screens such as your profile, Settings, Feedback and a conversation.
In a new message, the box for typing a name comes after the people already picked and takes the rest of the line, so its hint is no longer cut short.
On a wide screen, the titles in Messages sit beside their back button rather than far from it.
On a wide screen, the sheets to check after an upload sit two to a row instead of running off the edge.
A sheet that never finishes drawing now says it could not be loaded, rather than loading forever.
The Feedback message box grows as you write, up to two fifths of the screen, instead of staying a few lines tall.
On a wide screen, Invite People opened inside a project no longer brings the side menu back beside it, pushing the plans aside.
Some plan sheets that loaded for a minute and then failed now open, with all their text.
The back button closes an open ••• menu, rather than leaving the app.
A markup you have just drawn, or one someone else adds while you are on the sheet, can be tapped to change it straight away, rather than only after opening the sheet again.
Starting a group, or a conversation with someone new, opens it with your first message in it, rather than on a blank screen saying the person is no longer in the project.
A screen reader says which conversations in Messages, and which notifications, are unread.
Reading back through a conversation or a task's comments, a new message arriving no longer moves what you are reading, and one you send takes you down to it.
A notification about the project you had open, tapped from outside the app, opens what it is about rather than the project list.
In Sheet Layers, the All on button reads Some on while only some are hidden, rather than All on, and shows them all when pressed.
On a tablet with the keyboard floating, typing your email code or a phone number no longer closes the app: those boxes open the full keyboard on its numbers instead of a small number pad.

October 21, 2026

2026.10.21

New

New accounts, and accounts signing in again, confirm their email address with a code or a link sent to it, and a project or join link opened before signing up still opens once that is done.
Resetting your password also confirms your email address.
If someone else signed up with your email address and never confirmed it, creating your account offers to reset its password, which makes that account yours.
Your profile says when your email address is not verified, and lets you verify it.
You can change your email address in your profile; the new one takes over once you confirm the code sent to it, and entering your current address again cancels the change.
An invitation email opened on a phone that has the app fills in its address on the sign-up screen.
Invite People invites several people to several projects at once, and opens from the menu, a project card's menu, Contacts and the end of a new project.
People invited to several projects at once get one email that names them all.
A pasted list of email addresses becomes one invite for each address.
Choosing who a task is for, and starting a new message, offer Invite someone new.
Someone who joined by invitation is shown, once, where to invite others.
Admins and Managers can hide the built-in document categories a project doesn't use from the Documents filter and the category picker, and show them again from the filter, while documents already in one keep it.
Settings has a date and time format: dates written month first, day first or year first, and times on a 12-hour or 24-hour clock, whatever language the app is in. It follows you to every phone you sign in on.
Messages, task comments, a task's work details and notes can link a plan sheet, or an area of one you select, with a picture of it and a View in plans button that opens the plan right there.
A task's work details link the pin of the list it is on, and View in plans on a task list now zooms in on its pin.

Improved

Projects you were invited to before you signed up appear once your email address is verified.
Inviting people needs a verified email address.
In Contacts, inviting is the Invite People button, which also holds your phone's contacts and the join code.
Markups and notes other people add, change or delete now appear on an open plan by themselves, without it reloading, so the refresh button is gone.
In All Plans, tapping a sheet's number or name opens it, as tapping its picture does.
Deleting a note and removing someone from Contacts ask in the same layout as every other confirmation, with Cancel on the left.
In Contacts, the project's owner is marked Owner rather than Admin.
In Contacts, the first person in the list slides open to show what a swipe reveals only the first time after you sign in, rather than every time.

Fixed

With a keyboard, Tab no longer stops on the magnifying glass beside a search box.
In Spanish and Portuguese, a date such as the one beside a conversation from earlier this year puts the day before the month, as the rest of the app does.
Access Control on a document shows its Private and Public switch and who has access again, instead of opening onto an empty space.
A project's Updated date and a document's Uploaded date are the day where you are, so something changed in the evening no longer shows as the next day.
A deleted project can always be brought back from the Storage screen, including one with nothing in it, which used to leave no way to reach Recently deleted.
Adding sheets to a project no longer tells you to skip a step that has no Skip, and cancelling that upload no longer asks whether to cancel a new project.
Swiping across a project card no longer opens the project.
On a phone held wide, the side menu scrolls, so Feedback, About ProPlans and Sign out can be reached.
A message that arrives while the conversation is open shows under its day's date when the day has changed, and no longer leaves the conversation marked unread once you go back to the list.
Hiding or showing a note for yourself no longer changes its Updated time for everyone.
Times in the notification list read as they do elsewhere, without a leading zero, and in Spanish and Portuguese without "PM" after a 24-hour time.
The task form no longer leaves a band of empty space between Priority level and Due date.
Documents uploaded and then cancelled before they were checked are removed, instead of staying out of sight and taking up storage. Ones left unfinished another way, such as by closing the app, and ones left behind before now, are cleared after a week.
Placing a note opens its form straight away, and tapping a note's pin opens the note, every time. Both used to need a second tap now and then.
A screen reader names every button that shows only an icon, such as Close, Menu, Send, Delete, the photo and video controls and the markup colours, weights and shapes, instead of reading it as just a button. It no longer stops on the magnifier beside a search box.
With a screen reader, a photo or video you have just added to a note, task or message can be taken off again, not only opened.
On a tablet, the drawing behind sign-in, sign-up and the password screens covers the whole screen, and the sign-up terms no longer break onto a second line early.
On a tablet, Messages puts the project's name under its title instead of cutting both short, with narrower margins, and the open conversation is highlighted across the whole list.
The emoji picker's categories and search box are in the app's language.
After you tap Sign up, a spinner shows while the new account loads, instead of leaving the form waiting for another tap.
Holding a reaction lists each person with their trade and its colour, including someone who reacted while the conversation was open and anyone reacting to a task's comment.
Sending or editing a task's work details no longer takes off documents someone else linked while the form was open, and their work arriving no longer replaces what you were typing.
A note or task pin placed on a sheet lands where you tap again, rather than out of sight below the sheet.
The back button no longer closes the app while you check a new project's sheets. It asks before cancelling, as Cancel does, and on a sheet's details it asks before throwing away your changes.
After you change a project's details, status or tab, the project list no longer shows it as it was for a moment before showing the change.
Saving a sheet's details, uploading more sheets or rearranging them, or someone else changing the project's sheets, no longer moves you off the sheet you had open.
A screen reader reads the plans list's Filters button and menus, and every dropdown, by their words rather than an icon's symbol, and says whether a dropdown is open.
Publishing a shape no longer leaves an orange square on the sheet where you finished drawing it.
Messages, task cards and other screens use the app's own lettering on every phone, where some showed the phone's own font.
A screen reader no longer reads an icon's symbol as part of a button's name anywhere in the app, and reads a muted conversation as muted.
A screen reader names each switch in Settings, Access Control and a project's join settings by what it turns on.
Tapping the dimmed space around your profile closes it again.
Feedback that could not be sent keeps what you wrote and the screenshots, to send again.
Changing the phone's text size or display settings with a message box open no longer closes the app.
With your storage full, a note without photos saves as it should, and the storage notice no longer says notes have to wait.
With your storage full, the paper clip in messages, comments, notes and tasks opens again, so you can still link documents and plan sheets already in the project; only adding photos explains that it has to wait.
After searching the project list and opening a project, the keyboard no longer comes up over the project on its own, typing into the search behind it.
A message you or someone else deletes turns into "Deleted message" straight away, as it shows after opening the conversation again, instead of vanishing until then.
The bar offering to undo deleting a conversation says "Conversation deleted", not "1 Message Deleted".
A screen reader announces the app's buttons of words, such as Continue, Save and Sign out, as buttons, and says when one is dimmed.
With a screen reader, a project card offers its options and its information as actions, where the buttons on the card could not be reached.
Editing a message brings up the keyboard with the whole message in the box, where a long one was cut off at one line.
A box you type several lines into, such as a task's or a project's description or a new sheet version's notes, moves up above the keyboard and keeps what you type in sight.

October 14, 2026

2026.10.14

New

Paste a picture into the message box to attach it, in a conversation and in a task's comments.
A Viewer can ask for Crew access from their own row in Contacts. The project's Admins and Managers get a notification with Approve and Decline, the request disappears for the others once one of them answers, and the Viewer is told what was decided.
Projects can add their own document categories: add one from the Documents filter or from the category picker, and rename or delete it from the filter.
Whoever sends an invite can take it back in Contacts until the person joins: swipe the invite left and tap Remove.
In All Plans, the sheets you tick in Rearrange, Share or Delete can be downloaded as one PDF, or printed.
A sheet given the number of one already in the project can now be saved as a new version of it, with notes on what changed, instead of being refused.
Sheet Details has a Cancel button and, while you check newly uploaded sheets, a button to delete a sheet you don't want.
Both screens for checking uploaded sheets have a Cancel button again.
Each trade on a project has a conversation of its own, listed under General in Messages: everyone who works as that trade is in it, and anyone else on the project can join it. A grey line in it says who joined or left.
Mentioning someone on the project who isn't in a conversation brings them into it, so they can read and answer: at once in General and a trade's conversation, and once you agree in a direct message or a group.
An Outbox lists the messages still waiting for a connection and any that could not be sent, with why, so you can send one again, change it first or discard it. Open it from the Offline badge or from Profile, where the menu counts what was not sent.
When something you wrote could not be sent, a notice on the project list says so and opens the Outbox. Dismissed, it stays away until the app next starts.
Without a connection you can edit and delete your messages, react to messages, start a conversation, and mute, favourite, rename, leave or delete one, or change who is in a group. It shows at once, waits in the Outbox and is sent once you are back online.
Without a connection you can place and delete task lists, add, change, approve and delete tasks, comment on a task list and react to comments. It shows at once, marked as waiting, and is sent once you are back online.
Without a connection you can add notes to a sheet, change, hide, show and delete them, and link documents to them or take them off. It shows at once and is sent once you are back online; only a new photo or video still needs a connection.
Without a connection you can draw freeform markups and shapes, and move, resize, restyle, hide, show and delete them; they show at once, marked as waiting, and are sent once you are back online.
Without a connection you can mark notifications read or unread, clear them and change your notification settings, which open as you last saw them; it is sent once you are back online.
Without a connection you can change a project's status and information, archive, restore, delete or leave it, turn joining by QR code on or off, ask for a new code, and change your role on it; it shows at once and is sent once you are back online.
Without a connection you can change the app's language; your account follows once you are back online.
Without a connection you can invite people to a project and take back an invite you sent; they show at once, marked as waiting, and are sent once you are back online.
Remove Download in a downloaded project's menu takes it off your device; it still opens with a connection.
Settings shows how much space the app's files take on your device, with a Clear button that frees all of it except your downloaded projects.
When someone sends in a task for review, the project's Admins and Managers and whoever made the task list get a notification that opens what was sent.
Everyone on a task gets a notification when it is approved.
Everyone on a task still to be done is reminded the day before it is due and on the day, and Task reminders in notification settings turns these off.

Improved

Plan sheets you've opened before open faster, because they are kept on your device instead of being downloaded every time.
A project downloaded for offline use now picks up sheets added, turned or deleted since, whenever you have a connection, instead of staying as it was when you downloaded it.
A downloaded project's sheets take up space on your device once, shared with the sheets you open online.
Leaving or deleting a project, losing access to it, or signing out now also removes what was downloaded of it from your device.
Photos, avatars and plan and document thumbnails you've seen before load from your device, and still show without a connection.
The badge shown without a connection reads Offline instead of View Only, and the offline notice says what waits in your Outbox until you are back online.
Without a connection the toolbox stays on the sheet and every tool in it works. Actions that need a connection now say what they are.
Tasks and Messages open without a connection, showing what is saved on your device.
When your storage is full you can still add and edit tasks, task lists, notes and markups, and change a project's details, as long as nothing is attached; only adding files has to wait until there is room.
The message box has more room: the paper clip moved inside it, it reads Message, and conversations use more of the screen's width.
Rearranging sheets is smoother: it opens at once and responds straight away however many sheets there are, a held sheet follows your finger and the others slide out of its way, the list scrolls smoothly, the tiles are the size they are in the plans list, and a ticked sheet shows a green tick.
A sheet's menu in All Plans now reads Edit Sheet Information and Delete Sheet.
Once a new project's sheets are saved, it opens on Contacts, ready for you to invite people.
Sheet thumbnails and the preview in Sheet Details are landscape, the shape of a plan sheet.
Sheet Details asks for a Discipline rather than a Plan type, and the screens for checking uploaded sheets explain what to do more clearly.
About ProPlans lists the Privacy Policy after the Terms of Service, and both links show that they open outside the app.
Pop-ups, menus, lists and confirmations are dark throughout the app, to match it, and the hint on an empty task list can be read.
To change your role on a project, tap your own trade in Contacts.
The emoji picker draws with the app's colours.
A photo pinched past the usual zoom, in a chat or in Documents, stays where you leave it instead of springing back.
A task can be assigned to up to ten people instead of one, picked from everyone in the project by trade; each is told, any of them can send in the work, and a manager approves it once for all of them.
Notification settings switches can be flipped one after another, without waiting for each to save.
Changing your plan in account management updates the plan and storage limit the app shows straight away, without closing and reopening it.
Uploading plans no longer waits for every page to be prepared: once the files are sent you can carry on, and each sheet's picture fills in as soon as it is ready, much sooner than before.
Swiping a project card no longer slides it aside to show Archive, which stays in the card's ⋯ menu.
Search in Task Lists also finds a list by its tasks' titles, descriptions and numbers, and by the number on the list.
Lines in a conversation about the conversation itself, such as someone joining or a new name, are grey, so they read apart from the messages.

Fixed

A notification you clear stays cleared instead of coming back when the list refreshes, and one cleared on another device leaves the list too.
Tapping a notification after the app has sat in the background for a while opens what it is about, instead of the project list.
Tapping a notification about a task, such as a due-date reminder, scrolls to that task and outlines it for a moment, instead of leaving it somewhere down its list.
Sharing a large set of sheets or documents at once no longer closes the app.
A rare crash while several of a sheet's files were downloading at once is fixed.
Changing a markup's colour, line width or opacity just after deleting another markup no longer shows an error, and the change is kept.
Documents keeps your place in the list when someone else adds or deletes a document, instead of going back to the top.
Deleting documents without a connection says it needs one, instead of failing with an error that asks you to contact support.
Notifications about a deleted document or plan carry the same tag as the others about documents and plans.
The ⋯ button on a project card is easier to tap.
A menu closes into the button that opened it, instead of jumping to the top corner of the screen.
A task with nothing for you to do on it no longer dims when tapped.
A row's swipe buttons no longer flash below it as the row changes size, as they did on closing a contact's details in Contacts.
Edit Information has a plain dark background, instead of a picture with the project list showing through beside it.
Opening the app without a connection, after last using it with one, no longer puts you back at the sign-in screen.
A document someone has turned, or deleted a page from, now opens as it is now, instead of as you last saw it for up to a week.
In a document whose pages are not all the same size, the smaller pages are as sharp as the larger ones.
The time above your own messages no longer sits right on the bubble; it has the same space as on everyone else's.
Typing an address into the invite box in Contacts no longer brings up the password manager.
Clearing who a task is assigned to now saves; it used to be refused.
Downloading a project that has no plan sheets for offline use no longer fails.
A sheet whose offline download was cut off part-way is fetched again whole the next time you have a connection, instead of never opening offline.
Someone who deleted their account now shows as deactivated in the conversations they were part of.
People whose invite is still pending are no longer offered, or counted, when choosing who can see a document.
If a new project could not be created with its plans, Skip still works afterwards.
A message that waited more than a week for a connection is no longer dropped without a word: it waits in the Outbox for you to send again or discard.
A new note's notification names the person who added it, not their email address.
Tapping the notification for a task comment with several photos or documents attached opens its task list again, instead of saying the list no longer exists.
A task that could not be saved no longer fails without a word: the Outbox says why, and you can send it again, change it or discard it.
A note by someone who works as no trade on the project no longer stops the notes on its sheet from being drawn.
Documents no longer shows the last project's documents while another project's are loading; it shows a spinner until they arrive.
Link Document no longer offers the last project's documents to link while another project's are loading; it shows a spinner until they arrive.
Task Lists no longer shows the last project's task lists while another project's are loading; it shows a spinner until they arrive.
Task Lists shows the lists in the order of their numbers, Task List #1 first.

October 8, 2026

2026.10.8

New

About ProPlans now says whether the app is a Staging or Production build.
Double-tap a message or a task comment to add your thumbs-up, and double-tap it again to take it back.
Settings now has Message text size, with a slider, an example message and a Reset, for anyone who would rather not pinch.
Mute a conversation for 8 hours, a week or until you turn it back on. It unmutes itself when the time is up.
Mute a conversation from inside it: its information screen now shows whether its notifications are on, or how long they're muted for, and lets you change that.
The project's General conversation can now be muted.
Tasks now have a due date, tomorrow for a new task, which you can change or clear when editing the task, and which shows in red once it has passed.
A group's owner and admins can now give it a photo from Group Information, cropped to a square, or remove it again. Everyone in the group sees the change straight away.
A group now shows its picture beside its name in the chat and on Group Information, and keeps the same colour when it's renamed.
A message you write without a connection is kept and sent once you are back online, even if the app is closed in between. It shows as waiting to send until then.

Improved

Admin, Manager, Crew and Viewer are now called a person's access level everywhere, so role only ever means their trade.
Choosing access levels when you invite people is now a compact dark window rather than a full light screen, and its buttons no longer sit under the navigation bar.
In Layers, picking a note or a task list now moves the sheet to it, as picking a drawing does.
A double tap in a conversation no longer puts the text back to its standard size. Use Reset, in the conversation or in Settings.
The menu under all of a project's plans now looks the same as the one under a single plan.
Lists open at once with what you last saw and refresh behind it, instead of waiting on a spinner. Offline, Tasks, Documents, Contacts and Messages open with what you last saw there.
An empty notifications list now says "No notifications".

Fixed

Writing a message or a task comment no longer brings up the password manager over the keyboard.
The Feedback screen's buttons sit on one row again: a paper clip attaches a screenshot, Submit is beside it, and the message box starts small and grows as you write.
Text now keeps the same size everywhere when the phone's font size is turned up; some labels used to grow while the text around them did not.
A large, detailed shape or drawing, or several added at once, sends its notification again.
Only a project's admins and managers can change its status now. Crew and viewers see it without a way to change it.
Back and close buttons are easier to hit: a tap near the arrow or the X now counts, not only one right on it.
Choosing the colour or line width a markup already has no longer saves it again, so nobody's sheet reloads for nothing.
Turning off New chat message in notification settings now stops notifications for chat messages. Mentions still reach you.
Being mentioned in a message now sends you one notification instead of two.
When muting or unmuting a conversation fails, it now goes back to how it was and tells you.
Editing a task whose assignee has left the project now shows them as its assignee, greyed out, instead of no one.
Group initials made from an emoji or an accented letter no longer show a broken character, and symbols such as & are skipped, so "Framing & Rough-In" shows FR.
Renaming a group now changes its name for everyone in it, including anyone who renamed it before.
The notice shown when you go offline no longer says your changes will be saved and shared later. It now says what you can do: view the projects you downloaded, and add or change things once you are back online.
Losing your connection no longer shows an error screen, and downloaded plans open offline.
Losing the connection part-way through a download no longer closes the app.
Opening a notification about a new document no longer shows an error screen.
A storage warning now leaves the notification shade by itself on every phone once you free space or upgrade, instead of staying until swiped away.
When the server cannot be reached, the app now says so after the first action that fails, instead of letting every action fail for up to a minute.
A photo you zoom into, by pinching or double-tapping, now stays zoomed and where you leave it instead of springing back as soon as you let go.
Double-tapping a photo now zooms in on the spot you tapped.
A zoomed-in photo in a chat or a task can be moved around again, and swiping moves to the next photo.
"No conversations found" is now centred when a conversation search matches nothing.

September 30, 2026

2026.9.30

New

Link Documents now has an Upload button. Pick a file, give it a name and a category, and it comes back ready to link, without leaving the chat, note or task you were writing in.
Pinch a conversation or a task's comments to make the text bigger or smaller. Your phone keeps the size for every chat, and a double tap puts it back.
Notifications can now show just one project's: pick it at the top of the screen, or go back to all projects. Clear all then clears only that project's notifications.
Sheet Layers now lists the sheet's task lists under Tasks, so you can hide them too. Like drawings, shapes and notes, hiding one changes only your own view of the sheet.
The first time you open a project with more than one sheet, a hint shows that tapping the sheet counter between the arrows opens All Plans.
You can now delete an empty task list from its panel, with a few seconds to undo it. Anyone who has the list open is told it's gone.
You can now delete your ProPlans account from the app: open your profile, tap Edit, then Delete account. It asks for your password first.
Linking a private document in a chat, note or task now tells you who there can't open it, and offers to share it with them first. You can also link it without sharing, or go back and pick something else.
Private documents now show a small lock in the Documents list and tiles, so you can tell which ones the rest of the project can't open without opening each one.
In Contacts, you can now invite people straight from your phone's contacts as well as by typing their email address. Only the addresses you pick leave your phone.
Opening someone in Contacts now shows a Message button that takes you to your chat with them, ready to type.
Tapping someone's avatar in any chat or task comment now shows who they are, with their permission in the project and their trade. From there you can view their profile, message them, and change their permission level if you are an admin. From a task's comments you can also give them a task on that list.
You can now choose a different role for yourself on each project, from your own row in Contacts: Architect on one job, Inspector on another. Your label and colours change in that project only, and your profile's role stays the default everywhere else.
Join with code now has a Scan code button. Point the camera at a project's QR poster and the app goes straight to asking whether to join it. Codes that aren't ProPlans ones are ignored.
You can now attach up to two screenshots when you send feedback.
In Messages, swipe a conversation left to mute, favourite, leave or delete it, the same as a long press.
On a tablet or another wide screen, Messages shows your conversations and the open one side by side, in portrait and landscape.

Improved

Where your phone supports it, Update now on the update screen updates the app, or shows its store page, without leaving the app. You're no longer asked to update before the new version is available to your phone.
Tapping a notification about a message now opens the conversation straight away. One about a task or a new plan opens it without waiting for the sheet to load first.
To message someone from Contacts, swipe their row to the left and tap Message, beside Role and Remove, or open them and tap the Message button. Swiping to the right no longer shows Message.
If you're removed from a project while you have it open, the app now tells you straight away and takes you back to your project list, instead of leaving you inside until something failed. The notification you get about it opens your project list.
Uploading plans now shows how far each file has been sent, and then says what is being worked on — "Processing plans (Step 3 of 40)" — instead of leaving a full bar on screen with nothing happening.
Uploading documents now says when the file has been sent and is being processed, rather than filling the bar and waiting in silence.
Plans are now sent one file at a time, so a file that fails no longer loses the whole set. It is retried on its own, and only the file that could not be sent is marked.
A plan set is now ready much sooner. Its pages are prepared in the background rather than all inside the upload, so a large set no longer stalls and no longer gives up part way through.
The app now says straight away if a chosen plan file is not a PDF, or is too large, naming the file, instead of taking the upload and failing at the end.
Once an upload has reached the server, Cancel and Back are unavailable until it has finished, including the back button and the back gesture. Leaving part way through used to leave a half-finished set of plans behind.
An upload now survives the phone being locked or the app being closed. The transfer keeps going in the background — on some phones a notice says so while it runs, and goes as soon as the last file is sent. Anything that was interrupted anyway picks up where it left off the next time you open the app, sending only the files that had not arrived. You no longer have to choose your files again.
Sheets open with their markups, notes and task pins sooner, and going back to a sheet you have already opened shows them straight away.
Tapping a new-document notification now scrolls Documents to that document and highlights it for a moment.
The lock on a document's details is now orange and closed when it is private, and swings fully open when it is public, instead of two locks that looked almost the same.
The app now says Task and Task List wherever it used to say To-Do, in notifications as well.
The reasons ProPlans gives when it asks to use your camera, photos or contacts now read in English, Spanish or Portuguese, to match your device.
The toolbar at the top of a plan and your profile have new icons, and the toolbar's labels are larger and easier to read.

Fixed

The invite email box in Contacts no longer autocorrects the addresses you type, and can offer your own saved email addresses.
A few labels that were still in English now read in Spanish and Portuguese: the project owner's mark in Contacts, the markup editor, and Download.
In Spanish, an admin's badge now reads Administrador rather than Administración, and dates on project cards no longer have a double space. In Portuguese, a project's date reads Atualizado.
After you change the app's language, the Search Projects box on the project list shows its hint in the new language, instead of going blank until the app is restarted.
People's names in task assignee lists, and wherever else the app shortens a name, no longer have a double space between first and last name.
After an upload of plans fails, starting another now opens the upload screen, instead of jumping ahead to verifying sheets that were never sent.
Losing signal for a few seconds while looking at a sheet no longer ends in "Error while loading a sheet": the sheet stays on screen.
A project you have downloaded now opens with no connection, instead of "Error while loading a sheet", and keeps doing so however often the signal comes and goes. Its sheets show their markups, notes and task pins; a note opens to be read, and a task says it will open once you are back online.
Tapping Refresh on a sheet with no connection now reloads it, instead of leaving it loading for good.
With no connection, a project's Tasks, Documents, Contacts and Messages now say they will open once you are back online, instead of opening with an error or looking empty.
In Spanish, the offline badge now reads Solo lectura.
The Storage screen now lists your archived projects, marked Archived, instead of leaving their space unnamed under Other storage — or, after a look at your archived projects, listing only those.
A sheet whose file cannot be read now says it could not be loaded, instead of spinning forever or showing a technical error.
After you reorder or delete sheets, the project's picture and sheet count on the project list now change straight away, rather than the next time the list refreshes.
Going back from a project opened with Invite People on its card, or from an empty project you have just added plans to, now takes you to your project list instead of out of the app.
You can now choose several plan PDFs at once when uploading plans, as you already could for documents.
Deleting a project now says how many days you have to restore it, instead of showing {{count}}.
With a screen reader, a project card's buttons and its unread count, and each item in the side menu, are now read out by name. An archived card no longer offers an Archive button that does nothing.
A project whose preview picture cannot be loaded now says No Preview Available, instead of showing a blank white card.
Project statuses on the project list now show in your language, and read the same on the card as in the list of statuses you pick from, rather than in English capitals.
Going back from a project you have just created now takes you to your project list, instead of an empty Verify Sheets step or out of the app.
Creating a project without plans now opens it, ready for you to add plans, instead of dropping you back on the project list.
In Spanish and Portuguese, the sign-in screen now reads properly, and its button says Sign in rather than Access.
With a screen reader on, projects you have not downloaded are no longer read out as Downloaded.
Signing in with an email that has no account now says so, rather than switching to Sign Up without a word.
A wrong password no longer restarts the app and empties the sign-in screen. It now says the email or password is wrong, and keeps what you typed.
After creating an account, the storage welcome now appears on your project list, instead of on top of the Congratulations screen before you have reached it.
The email box and the search box in Contacts no longer lose the keyboard as soon as it opens.
Documents no longer fails to load for a project that holds a PDF the server can't read. The rest of the project's documents now show as usual.
A notification about a task message now gives the list's number as the app shows it, instead of a different number.
Tapping a notification about the project you already have open no longer takes you back to the first sheet and reloads it: the plan stays where you left it, and only what the notification is about opens over it.
Markups, notes and task pins no longer sometimes fail to appear on a sheet, and a poor connection no longer clears the ones already showing.
Markups, notes and task pins that someone else adds, changes, moves or deletes on the sheet you have open now update on your screen straight away.
In Contacts, the email box and the Send Invite button now match the rest of the app's dark look, instead of showing as white boxes.
The search box in Task Lists now matches the app's other search boxes, instead of being a white box.
Contacts, Task Lists, Documents and All Plans now reach the bottom of the screen, instead of stopping short and leaving a strip of the plan showing underneath.
On a tablet or another wide screen, a project's Contacts now opens at a comfortable width in the middle of the screen instead of stretching from edge to edge.
On a tablet or another wide screen, a project's menu in the project list now opens beside its button, instead of about a column to the right or off the edge of the screen.
In Portuguese, the button that shows a message's translation now fits on one line, inside its box.
When you are added to a project, the notification now names the permission level you were given, in your language, instead of saying "Member".
Inviting someone who is already in the project now says so, instead of saying they were added, and they are no longer sent a second invitation. An address typed with capitals is recognised, and one that only contains an address already listed can now be invited.
If removing someone from Contacts fails, the app now says so instead of doing nothing.
When your permission level in a project changes, including when you are invited back at a different one, the app now shows the new level as soon as you open the project or return to the app, instead of keeping the old level's tools until it was restarted.
A private document is no longer announced to people who cannot open it. Only people who can see a document are told about it, whether it is added, shared or deleted.
Renaming a document or changing its category no longer tells the project a new document was added. Sharing one tells only the people it has just been shared with.
The notification for a deleted document now names the project, instead of showing "{projectName}".
Tapping a document notification now opens the project's Documents straight away, instead of loading a sheet first and sometimes showing error messages on the way.
Sharing a photo or video from the full-screen viewer, in a note, a task or a chat, opens the share sheet again. The Share button used to keep spinning and never open it.
Crew members now start on a project's task lists when they open it, as intended, instead of always landing on the sheet.
Hiding a drawing, shape or note in Layers now hides it only for you, instead of for everyone in the project, so anything hidden before this update shows again until you hide it yourself.
New messages, comments and changes other people make keep appearing after you close a task. Closing one used to stop them arriving anywhere in the app until you restarted it.
A task written in another language now shows its translation while you have its list open, instead of only after you open the list again.
Opening a task list no longer briefly shows the comments of the list you opened before. A spinner shows until its own comments arrive.
A task list with no comments now says "No comments", and the message stays in view above Write Comment when a task is expanded, instead of slipping behind the button.
When editing a task, Cancel and Save now sit clear of the bottom edge of the screen, where Save could be half hidden. Approve does the same when reviewing a task's work.
While typing in a task, you can now scroll down to Save without closing the keyboard first, and one tap on Save saves.
In a project with no plans yet, the Layers button is now dimmed, as there is nothing on a sheet for it to show.
If your feedback can't be sent, the app now says so instead of doing nothing.
Deleting two conversations one straight after the other now deletes both, and leaving Messages just after deleting one no longer brings it back later.

September 24, 2026

2026.9.24

New

Project admins can now change someone's permission level in the app, from Contacts: swipe their row to the left and tap Role. It used to be possible only on the website, which no longer offers it.
Projects you delete now go to Recently deleted for 60 days, reachable from the Storage screen, where you can see what each one still takes up, how long is left, and restore any of them.
The app now welcomes you once with what your free storage includes. It is shown once for your account, so signing in on another phone, or reinstalling, does not repeat it.
When you open the app with little storage left, or none, it now says so and offers to get you more, and tells you the same by notification when the app is closed. You are told at most three times as you approach the limit, a week apart, rather than every time you open the app, and it starts over only if you free up space and fill it again.

Improved

A project stops accepting new files once its owner is out of storage, whoever is adding them. Anyone in the project is told whose storage is full, so they know who to ask; until now only the owner was stopped, while everyone else kept filling a project that had no room left.
Reaching your storage limit no longer stops you talking to your team. You can still send, edit and react to messages in any conversation; what has to wait is sending a photo or a file with them, until you free up space or upgrade.
The message shown when you delete a project now says what actually happens: you can restore it for 60 days, and after that it is removed from your account. It previously said a deleted project could not be restored, which was never true.
The Storage screen now names what your deleted projects take up instead of leaving it in Other storage, so you can see where the space went and get it back.
A project you deleted now stops counting towards your storage once its 60 days are up. Until now nothing ever released that space, so projects deleted long ago were still being counted.
The bar on the Storage screen now fills up as you use space, rather than shrinking, and a Get more storage button appears beside it once less than a tenth of your plan is left.
Archived projects are marked as archived on the Storage screen, so it is clear why one you no longer add to is still taking up room.
The screen for linking documents to a note is now headed "Link Documents" rather than "Pick Document", since you can choose more than one.
A project's join poster can now be shared to print, or downloaded to a folder of your choice.
Double-tapping a blank part of a sheet now puts the view back to the way the sheet opened, which is the way back after zooming into a detail.
Deleting a markup or a note no longer sends everyone on the project a notification, and the ones already in your notifications list have been cleared.

Fixed

Opening a notification from another project while one is open now opens that project reliably. It could stop at a "Something went wrong" screen, show error messages about markups, or leave the sheet without its drawings and notes.
A document with a long name no longer pushes the close button off the edge of the screen when you open it.
On Android phones with navigation buttons at the bottom, the last choice in menus that slide up from the bottom, such as Select Files when uploading a document, is no longer hidden behind them.
On iPhone, the back arrow on the Link Documents screen closes it again. It sat behind the clock and battery at the top of the screen, where tapping it did nothing, so there was no way out.
Typing a note after adding a photo to it no longer happens behind the keyboard. The note box now moves up above the keyboard, so you can see what you type.
The screen for linking a document to a note now has the same dark background as the rest of the app, and on Android the back button closes it instead of doing nothing.
Commenting on a to-do works again when your storage is full. You could still write in the project chat but not on the task it was about, and the comment vanished without saying why.
A comment that cannot be sent now says so and gives you your text back, instead of clearing the box as though it had gone.
A document upload that the server turns down now says why — that the storage is full, and whose — instead of telling you to check your connection. On Android no refusal ever reached the app, so every one of them read as a network problem.
Tapping a notification opens what it is about again. Every notification in the list, and every one you tapped in the tray, had stopped going anywhere at all.
A storage notification is now headed ProPlans Account, rather than by a blank space where a project name would be, no longer shows a spinner that never stops, and tapping one brings up your storage message instead of trying to open a project that does not exist.
A notification for a project that has only just appeared — one you were invited to a moment ago — now opens it instead of doing nothing.
Dragging a zoomed photo or document with one finger now moves it. A slow, careful drag — the kind you make to reach the edge of something — did nothing at all.
Swiping a row to reveal its buttons now works on an ordinary swipe. Flicking quickly, or swiping at a slight angle, used to leave the row shut, which made Mark as unread and Clear on a notification hard to get to.
The notifications list now keeps your place when you come back to it. Coming back after scrolling through several screens of notifications used to move you somewhere else in the list.
A to-do you opened with View in plans now stops being highlighted on the sheet once you tap somewhere else or pick something else. The highlight used to stay until you opened the Layers panel, and could come back on its own afterwards.
Tapping a to-do on a sheet now always opens it. Tapped in the moment before its list had finished loading, it would light up and open nothing, with no way to put it out again.
A small revision cloud now draws as a cloud. Below a certain size it came out as a plain oval.
Revision clouds in the shapes list now look like the cloud on the sheet. They were drawn with spikes, and small ones were unrecognisable.
Your profile now shows your account type as Free when no plan has been recorded for you. A few accounts were showing the word "null" instead.
The storage figures on the Storage screen, on the project list and in your profile now count only the projects you own. Projects shared with you belong to whoever created them, and counting those could tell you that you were out of space when you were not.
Dialogs now dim the whole screen behind them. A strip at the top and another along the bottom were left undimmed, so the screen underneath showed through at both ends.
Your plan and storage figures are now brought up to date every time you open the app. They were only refreshed when you signed in, so the amount shown could be long out of date and a storage notice could go unmentioned until you next signed in.
The app now opens on devices that run Android apps through a translation layer, such as some Chromebooks and PCs. It was closing the instant it was tapped.
Tapping a button twice in quick succession now does its action once. A double tap can no longer create two projects, send a message twice, approve a task twice or open a project twice.
Show all and Hide all on a sheet's notes now save every note, instead of only the last one.
If a screen fails to draw, the app now shows a Try again screen instead of going blank.
A shape someone else draws or deletes now appears or disappears while you are looking at the sheet, instead of only after you open it again.
Reacting to a chat message while new messages are coming in now saves the reaction on that message, instead of losing it, putting it on another message or hiding a message that had just arrived.
The pictures and videos in a chat's details keep their order when someone posts a new one, instead of the earlier ones flipping around.
After undoing a conversation delete, deleting another conversation now deletes it, instead of it disappearing and coming back later.
A connection that drops for a few seconds and comes back no longer brings up the Working Offline notice once you are online again.
If a drawing or shape cannot be shown, hidden or saved, the app now says so instead of doing nothing.
When every sheet in an upload fails, the app now says so instead of carrying on as if the upload worked.
Sheets you leave untitled when uploading more sheets are now numbered on from the project's existing untitled sheets, instead of starting at #0 or below.
Editing a sheet's details in a project that is not in your project list yet no longer replaces another project in that list.
Deleting a page while editing a document now removes that page, instead of always the first one.
Documents that could not be deleted in a batch delete now stay in the list, and deleted ones no longer come back when you change the filter.
Project admins can now remove any contact from a project; some could not be removed before.
Contacts whose first name starts with a lower-case letter are now sorted with everyone else, instead of after Z.
When creating an account, an email address that cannot be checked, for example with no connection, now says so instead of saying the address is already taken.
The button on a notification that pops up inside the app now reads Go, in your language, instead of "go".
Scrolling up to older messages in a chat no longer removes the date headers above the messages already on screen.
Scrolling up to older messages in a chat now loads them after a new message has arrived, instead of loading nothing.
In Spanish, the conversation list now shows day and month names in Spanish instead of English.
In Sheet Layers, the All on / All off button for notes now goes by the open sheet's notes, and changes when you show or hide one from the list.
If the connection drops while new sheets are processing, the upload now keeps checking for about a minute and then says it failed, instead of showing progress forever.
Deleting a sheet from All Plans now closes the menu once the sheet is gone, instead of sometimes leaving it open with nothing said.
If a sheet cannot be removed when you cancel uploading more sheets, the app now says so.
Files you share from the app no longer pile up on your phone.
Error and confirmation messages for projects, notifications, markups, documents, signing in and out, creating an account, changing language and sharing now appear in your language.
A refused sign-in now says the email or password is wrong instead of showing a technical error.
Downloading two projects for offline use at the same time now keeps both, instead of sometimes losing the first one's sheets.

September 14, 2026

2026.9.14

New

Project owners and admins can turn on a join link and QR code for a project, show the QR full screen for someone to scan, share the link, and download it as a poster to print. The code is a tap away from the project's menu and from Contacts, and the owner and admins get a New member notification when someone joins with it.
Join a project by scanning its QR code, following its link, or entering its code from the menu. If you are not signed in yet, the app remembers the project while you sign in or create an account.
You can @mention someone in a chat message, the way you already could in a To-Do comment. They get a notification, and tapping it opens the conversation.
Web links in chat messages and To-Do comments are now tappable and open in your browser.
In Contacts, swipe a person's row to the right for Message, which opens your direct conversation with them or starts one.
Notes, To-Do comments and a task's work details all take attachments through the same paper clip as Messages: pictures and video from your gallery, a picture from the camera, or a document from the project's library.
A video attached to a note, a comment or a task shows a thumbnail while it is being prepared and plays once it is ready.
A To-Do comment can now carry several pictures or videos at once, as one comment.
Your profile now shows how much storage your projects use, the same figure as at the top of the project list, and tapping it opens the breakdown by project.
The storage screen now shows your plan's limit, with a bar for what is left that shrinks as space is used and turns red when less than a tenth remains, and a button to account management.
When your account has used the storage its plan allows, the app tells you how much you are using and what the plan includes. You can still open, download and delete everything; adding files, projects, notes, messages and comments picks up again once you free up space or upgrade.
Messages, task comments, notes and task details written in another language now appear in yours, with a Show original link to see what was actually written.
Notifications for new messages and task comments now show the start of the message, in your language.

Improved

Staying signed in now lasts as long as you keep using the app; you are only asked to sign in again after 90 days away.
Resetting your password now signs you out everywhere, so a new password ends any session someone else had.
Signing out on one device no longer signs you out on your other devices.
Sign-up invitation links now open the app directly when it is installed, instead of a web page.
Opening an email link on a phone without the app now shows the store buttons straight away, instead of a spinner first.
To-Do comments now look and behave like chat messages: the same bubbles, names and times, and the same composer, with each comment still coloured by its author's role.
Contacts gives the invite form more room, and the people in it sit on the panel's own colour instead of on raised cards.
An account whose plan's storage allowance is not yet known is treated as having 1 GB, on the storage screen and when adding to a project.
Your profile now shows the plan your account is on — Free, Select or PRO — instead of always saying Standard.
The app says Sign in and Sign out where it used to say Login and Logout.
A note added to a sheet now arrives as a New Note notification, with its own badge and the name of who added it, instead of a generic markup one.
In a note, Delete is now a trash-can icon and Edit sits under the note's text, so the two are no longer side by side and easy to mix up.
A request that fails because your connection blipped, or because the server was briefly unavailable, is tried again a couple of times before you see an error.

Fixed

Saving your profile keeps you signed in. It was sending you back to the sign-in screen, with the change apparently saved.
Signing up creates the account again. It was not being created at all, so the app could not sign you in afterwards.
A note or task added by someone else now appears while you are looking at the sheet, instead of only after reopening the panel.
The app no longer signs you out when the connection drops while it is renewing your session.
A save whose answer never made it back to the app no longer creates a duplicate when it is sent again.
Opening a project from an invitation link no longer crashes the app once the project is on screen.
If picking or uploading a new profile photo fails, the app now says so instead of doing nothing.
On an iPad, the Sheet Layers panel's message for a sheet with nothing on it now sits inside the panel instead of off to the side.
A document you have just uploaded is private to you, as it always was on the server, instead of showing as shared and becoming shared when you saved its details.
Your profile panel now dims the screen behind it like every other panel, and a tap on the dimmed area closes it.

September 4, 2026

2026.9.4

New

With a keyboard attached, pressing Escape closes whatever panel or dialog is open — the same ones a tap outside would close.
On the sign-in screen, pressing Return moves on from the email field and signs you in from the password field, instead of doing nothing.
Pressing Return in the last box of a form now does what the button below it does — continuing from the sign-up details, saving your profile, saving a document's name or a plan's sheet details, and sending a password reset link.
With a keyboard attached, Command-F puts the cursor in the search box on whatever you are looking at — projects, documents, conversations, plans, to-dos and the rest.
With a keyboard attached, Tab moves from one box of a form to the next.
The app now asks you to update, and waits until you do, when the version in the store is more than a week newer than the one you are running.

Improved

Opening a project from the list now switches to it the moment you tap, and shows the sheet loading, instead of pausing on the list with nothing happening first.
If your access to a project has been taken away, opening it now says so in a message, and Okay takes you back to a refreshed project list.
Every screen inside a project now shows which project you are in beside its title — Documents, To-Do lists, Messages and the screens within them, plans and uploads — the way the Contacts panel already did.
The message box in a conversation and in a task's comments now grows with what you type, up to ten lines, before it scrolls.
In a task's comments, Write Comment now opens the message box with the keyboard ready, and the photo and send buttons beside it are larger and sit level with it.
Notifications now say "task message" and "task" where they used to say "to-do comment" and "to-do list item", and the push notification setting for them is now called Task Messages.
The To-Do panel now has the same dark background as every other panel, instead of changing between light and dark depending on which part of it you were looking at.
Editing a note or a to-do now happens on the same dark background as the rest of the panels, instead of a white one, and the close button in the photo viewer matches wherever a photo is opened from.
Attaching work details to a task now uses the same dark background as the rest of the panels, instead of a white one.
On a tablet held wide, the menu stays open down the side of the screen instead of sliding over the top of what you were looking at, and the project list fills the space with two or three projects to a row instead of one.
On a tablet, panels that slide up from the bottom — the plan's layers list, the markup editor, the file picker and the rest — hold to a comfortable width in the middle of the screen instead of stretching from edge to edge.
Zooming into a photo now stops where the picture runs out of detail, instead of at a fixed amount that meant something different on every screen size.
The close button in the photo viewer is a plain white cross now, a little larger, with no disc behind it, and it sits level with the share button along the bottom of the screen.
A plan being checked during upload zooms in as far as the documents viewer already did.
On a tablet, the colour, width and opacity pickers for a markup sit in a panel beside the buttons that open them instead of stretching across the whole screen.
Your profile opens as a card in the middle of the screen, only as tall as what is on it, rather than a panel filling the whole screen with the details spread down it.
On a tablet, documents shown as tiles fill the width — three across held upright, four across held wide — instead of two with the rest of the row empty.
On iPad, the app can be used held upside down as well as upright or either way round in landscape.
The link at the top of a to-do list now reads "All To-Do Lists" and takes you back to every list in the project, instead of naming the list you were already looking at and closing the panel.
The list of all to-do lists in a project now shows dark tiles, matching the panel they sit on rather than standing out as white cards.
"No new comments" now sits centred on one line under a to-do, instead of wrapped over two and pushed off to one side.
Editing a to-do list now has a link back to the to-do it was opened from, the same one the to-do itself uses to get back to all the lists, rather than only a close button back to the plan.

Fixed

On newer Android phones, the message box and every other text box now stay above the keyboard instead of disappearing behind it.
A project's thumbnail on the project list now follows its first sheet after plans are uploaded, reordered or deleted, instead of keeping the sheet it was created with.
The "view all" link under a to-do's tasks now appears only when there are more tasks than the panel is already showing.
Tapping a photo in a to-do comment now shows the photo in the fullscreen viewer, instead of a black screen with only a close button.
Starting a task on a to-do list and closing the editor before saving no longer breaks the list: opening it again works, and the task you did not finish is dropped rather than left behind as a blank one.
A note can now be deleted from the note itself — open it and the Delete option sits beside Edit — rather than only from the Layers list.
Coming back to a plan after leaving the app open in the background for a long time now reloads it automatically, instead of the sheets failing to load until you backed out and reopened the project.
Scrolling a to-do's task list or its comments no longer drags the panel towards closing instead of scrolling. Dragging it away still works, from the top of the list — the same as everywhere else.
Opening a "New markup" notification now highlights what it is about on the plan sheet — a drawing, a shape or a note — instead of landing on the right sheet with nothing picked out.
Opening a notification about a note that someone edited now takes you to that note as well.
The Documents panel opens with an empty search box and the full list, instead of still showing whatever was typed the last time it was open.
In the Documents panel, tapping anywhere outside the search box puts the keyboard away.
Attaching a photo to a to-do no longer closes the app when the camera or photo permission is turned down, or when there is no camera to use.
On iPad, a freehand markup drawn from the very edge of the screen no longer gets taken by the system as a swipe to leave the app.
On Android, a photo opened full screen and the new to-do form no longer start underneath the status bar.
The write-comment button on a to-do no longer sits under the home indicator at the bottom of the screen.
A dropdown list opens upwards when there is no room below it, instead of off the bottom of the screen after the device has been turned.
Turning a tablet while zoomed into part of a plan keeps you where you were, instead of pulling back out to the whole sheet.
The keyboard no longer offers a "next" key on a description box, where pressing it only ever started a new line.
Documents shown as a list are rows again, one line each with a small picture beside the name, instead of one document filling the screen and the rest of them below it.
On Android, swiping inside a panel scrolls what is in it instead of trying to close the panel, so lists that are taller than the screen can be reached. Panels still close with the back gesture, the back button and the X.
The centre of a note pin and the face of a task icon are drawn again, instead of appearing as a black blank on the plan.
A private document shows its lock wherever it is opened full screen, not only from the documents list.
Editing a public document and saving it no longer turns it private.
The reset link in a password email opens the app and lets you set a new password there, instead of returning you to the screen that said the email had been sent. It works whether or not you are already signed in on that phone.
A link to a project opens that project, instead of leaving you on whatever screen you were already on.
Opening a chat clears its unread marks — the orange count on the project and the dot on the notification bell — however you got to it, not only by tapping the notification.
Your trade on the profile screen, and in the role pickers, follows a change of app language instead of staying in the language it was first shown in.
Losing your connection keeps the project list you last saw, and pulling to refresh no longer empties it. Opening a project you have not downloaded explains that it will be available again when you are back online.
