What's new, improved, and fixed in Studio

Project Templates — reusable blueprints for new projects

July 24, 2026
  • New Project Templates — save a project's task list as a reusable blueprint and stamp it onto any new project. Tasks carry relative due-date offsets ("Kickoff +2 days, First draft +7 days"), so every project lands its dates on the right day automatically.
  • New Start from a template right on the New Project screen in the client portal — pick a blueprint instead of a blank slate.

Facilities — room displays, floor maps, and event coordination

July 22, 2026
  • New Meeting-room displays — mount a tablet outside any room to show live status and take walk-up bookings. Pair a device in seconds with a 6-digit code (just like check-in stations), and choose from three screen designs: Timeline, Spotlight, or Classic.
  • New Floor map editor — upload a plan (image or PDF) and draw labelled areas right on it. Each hotspot gets a name, an optional linked room, and its own notes thread with photo attachments. Everything auto-saves, with unlimited undo/redo and a print view.
  • New Per-event floor plans — lay out tables and stations for a specific reservation on top of any base map, and save arrangements as reusable layouts.
  • New Reservations are now a coordination hub — every booking works like a mini project, with Tasks, Comments, Notes, Files, and linked work orders all in one place.
  • New Public room requests — share a reservation-request form or a quick-booking link so people outside Studio can request a room. Requests arrive as pending for staff to approve.
  • Improved Room-display health now reads "Connected / Not connected" with an at-a-glance last-seen time.

Facilities — schedule rooms, track work orders and assets

May 27, 2026
  • New The Facilities module — manage physical space across campuses and locations, organized as buildings, floors, and rooms in a hierarchy.
  • New Room reservations with real-time conflict detection, setup/teardown buffers, and multi-step approval chains for high-stakes spaces.
  • New Work orders — submit, assign, photo-document, and close out maintenance requests, with an optional manager-review step before completion.
  • New Asset tracking — catalog equipment with serial numbers, warranties, condition, and per-campus quantities, plus each item's full repair history.
  • New Facility rentals — set hourly or daily rates on a space and bill external groups through the Invoices module.
  • New Public surfaces — an embeddable room calendar, a live status board, and a public work-order request form.

Invoices: simpler tabs, recurring polish, public-pay redesign

May 9, 2026
  • New Recurring invoices are now first-class — full edit modal that mirrors the New Invoice modal exactly, with Pause / Resume / Cancel / Delete inline. Edits propagate to any unpaid cycles already generated; paid cycles stay frozen.
  • New Email recipient overrides on recurring invoices — set a custom To / CC / BCC (e.g. accounting@) that's sent to every cycle, separate from the client's contact email.
  • New Recurring schedule sidebar card on individual invoice pages — shows status, next charge date, frequency, total payments, and a one-click Edit.
  • Improved Invoices list tabs simplified to Invoices / Recurring / Overdue with a per-tab status filter dropdown (Drafts, Sent, Paid, Overdue on Invoices; Active, Paused, Canceled, Ended on Recurring). The Recurring tab's "Due" column now shows the schedule's next-charge date.
  • Improved Public payment page redesigned to look like a real invoice document — wordmark logo, INVOICE / number, Bill To, Issue + Due dates, line items, then Stripe checkout. The Payment Received state shows a light-green confirmation card.
  • Improved Wordmark logo support — uploads in Workspace Settings now show on the public pay page and admin invoice document; falls back to your icon + organization name when no wordmark is set.
  • Improved Invoice list search is now live and debounced (matches Time, People, Tasks). The dedicated Search button is gone.
  • Fixed Email To / CC / BCC typed when creating an invoice now persists everywhere — re-opens the same on the edit modal and on the recurring schedule, no more "wait, who did I send this to?"
  • Fixed Paid, canceled, and refunded invoices are now properly locked — edit pencil hides on the list and detail page, and the API refuses direct PUTs to closed invoices.
  • Fixed Sidebar correctly highlights "All Invoices" when you're on the invoices page (was just expanding the dropdown without a child highlight).

Tasks, Follow-ups rename, profile cleanup

May 8, 2026
  • New Tasks — discrete to-do items attached to people, with due dates, priority, assignees, and a status checkbox. Lives on the new Tasks tab inside every person profile.
  • New Tasks inbox at /studio/tasks — your daily worklist with Open / Completed tabs, grouped by Overdue / Today / This week / Later. Search, filter by assignee, and bulk-complete or delete.
  • New Sidebar Tasks entry shows a blue badge with the count of open tasks assigned to you. Email goes out automatically when someone assigns a task to you.
  • New Studio Admin → Org Types — see at a glance which modules each org type gets out of the box, and edit those defaults from one place.
  • Improved Outreach tab is now labeled "Follow-ups" in agency, freelancer, and company workspaces (it stays "Outreach" in church / ministry / nonprofit workspaces). Same feature — different framing for sales-style orgs.
  • Improved Person profile sidebar in agency / freelancer / company workspaces now shows a "Company & Clients" card instead of Relationships — surfaces the company they work at and any clients they're a portal user for.
  • Improved Person profile tab order is now Events · Notes · Tasks · Follow-ups · Contact, with Tasks before Follow-ups so daily action items are first.
  • Fixed Donor surfaces (Lifetime Giving stat, Donor badge, Giving History tab, Year-End Statement button) now hide when the Donations module is turned off in a workspace, regardless of any leftover donor data. Same for Events.
  • Fixed Connections sidebar item now hides when Workflows is turned off — the two travel together.

Worship — arrangements, SongSelect import, YouTube

April 21, 2026
  • New Song Arrangements — one song, many versions (Original / Acoustic / Christmas), each with its own key, tempo, chart, files, and YouTube link.
  • New Import from ChordPro — paste a ChordPro file on the songs library and we auto-fill title, artist, key, CCLI #, and tempo.
  • New SongSelect API import — optional direct search of the CCLI catalog. Configure your API key under Worship Settings.
  • New YouTube reference videos — paste a YouTube link on any song and it plays above the chord chart in both the admin view and musician practice page.

Worship module — songs, plans, rehearsal

April 21, 2026
  • New Song library with ChordPro charts, live key transposition, and PDF print.
  • New Weekly service plans with drag-sort service order, per-song key overrides, and call times.
  • New Rehearsal portal at /account/rehearsal — musicians see every upcoming service across every church they play for.
  • New Practice media player with pitch-shift and tempo controls that auto-match the chart key.
  • New CCLI usage is logged automatically when you publish a plan, with an annual report view.
  • New Launchpad adds a Rehearsal tile for musicians — one stop across multiple churches.

Payments & tabs polish

April 13, 2026
  • New ACH bank payments on invoices and donations via Stripe.
  • Improved Admin tabs and toolbars align on a single shared pattern.
  • Improved Empty states use a single spacing source; Projects shows a clipboard icon.

Supporter Portal + events

April 12, 2026
  • New Post-login Launchpad surfaces workspaces, client portal, and donor account.
  • New Year-end tax statement PDFs available on /account/giving.
  • Improved Events, tickets, and RSVPs polished end-to-end.

Notifications + billing

April 11, 2026
  • New Global notification sync with real-time bell and form-submission fan-out.
  • New Billing architecture: 5 plans, storage tracking, enforcement, and plan gating.
  • New Form share & embed flow with client picker and auto-resizing iframe.
