Changelog

Audio / Video category and icon pack

The icon library now covers Audio / Video: displays, projectors and screens, ceiling and in-wall speakers, subwoofers, ceiling mics, volume controls, AV racks, amplifiers, surround receivers, DSP processors, matrix switches, touch panels, and video-conference cameras. AV devices paint emerald green, get their own pack toggle, and roll up under "Audio / Video" in the device schedule and BOM the same way CCTV and fire do. Add your own custom AV hardware too.

Automation category and icon pack

New Automation category for control and smart-building work, brand-agnostic across Crestron, Lutron, and Control4. Adds lighting keypads, dimmer and load modules, automation processors, motorized shades, shade motors, thermostats, occupancy and daylight sensors, wireless gateways, and video intercoms. Automation devices paint fuchsia, get their own pack toggle, and roll up under "Automation" in the device schedule and BOM. With AV, Network, and Automation together, a Crestron / AV integrator can mark up lighting, shades, distributed audio/video, networking, and conference rooms from one drawing.

Electrical icons are now amber

Electrical devices used a dark stone gray that read as near-black on a plan. They now paint amber, which is easy to spot and clearly distinct from fire red. Existing electrical placements re-render in the new color automatically.

Electrical category and NECA starter pack

The icon library now covers six trades instead of four. Adds Network/Data (12 icons shipped 2026-06-12) and Electrical (16 NECA-style icons shipped today: duplex / quad / GFCI / USB / floor / 240V outlets, single-pole / 3-way / 4-way / dimmer / occupancy switches, service panel, sub panel, junction box, recessed can light). Place them on a plan, add custom hardware of your own in either category, and they roll up into the BOM and device schedule the same way CCTV and fire do.

Save errors when placing custom hardware in new categories

If you created a custom hardware type in Electrical or Network and tried to save a drawing that used it, the save was rejected with a validation error. Same issue blocked archiving custom hardware. Both fixed; existing drawings save cleanly now.

Editor recognizes Network and Electrical categories

The Add Custom Hardware form inside the editor now offers Network/Data and Electrical alongside the other four trades. The toolbar also renders an Electrical section as soon as you have at least one electrical custom hardware item, instead of hiding the section.

BOM rollup correctly buckets Network and Electrical devices

Network and electrical custom hardware were silently bucketing as Miscellaneous in the per-system BOM totals and the exported device schedule CSV. Both now report under their actual category. Existing customer-facing exports re-render with correct subtotals.

Custom hardware preview color matches editor render

The Business Settings preview thumbnail showed a different color than what got painted on the plan for CCTV, access, intrusion, openings, and Misc. All five maps (canvas, PDF flatten, mobile viewer, dashboard overlay, Business Settings preview) now agree by hex value. New canonical colors: network cyan-700 (distinct from CCTV teal), electrical stone-600 (NECA architectural neutral).

Calibration and wire run measurement

Drop a known distance on your floor plan (door width, hallway, scale bar) and the editor learns the scale. After that, the wire run tool taps out cable routes with live per-segment and running totals in real feet or meters. Every run rolls up into a cable schedule on your BOM PDF and CSV export so estimating becomes a click instead of a tape measure.

Wire run vertex editing

Drag any waypoint to nudge a route, grab a midpoint to add a new bend, or delete a vertex you no longer want. No more deleting and redrawing a wire run to fix one corner. Endpoint handles also added to calibration lines and the basic line tool.

Tap Done on wire run and wall tools

Both tools now show a floating Done button at the bottom of the canvas while you're drawing. Big tap targets for iPad, live waypoint count, Done commits the run and Cancel discards it. Double tap the canvas works as a secondary finish gesture. Keyboard Enter still works for desktop power users.

Team management

Build your account roster, assign people to projects from a picker (no more email invites for your own crew), and track skills and certifications. Five built-in positions (Owner, Manager, Project Manager, Technician, Contractor) with the right permissions for each. Sub-contractors and customer contacts still get the lightweight invite flow as project guests so external folks never clutter your roster.

Customer to Site to Contact hierarchy

One customer can carry multiple sites and multiple contacts, so the second job at the same address only takes a few clicks instead of retyping everything. Matt's feedback after a site survey at a repeat customer drove this.

Address autocomplete

Start typing on customer, site, or company profile forms and pick from the suggestions. City, state, and ZIP fill in automatically. Powered by Mapbox.

Per project Blank Canvas size and orientation

The Blank Canvas button on a project now opens a size picker. Letter, Tabloid, or custom dimensions (4 to 60 inches per side) plus portrait or landscape. Defaults to Letter landscape, the most common blueprint orientation.

Dual lens camera icon

Added a dedicated icon for the increasingly common camera bodies that ship with two lenses pointing different directions.

Multisensor camera cone defaults

Multisensor cameras now drop with cleaner default cones (70 degrees instead of 90) so the four wedges have visible gaps. You can also delete an individual cone if you only need three of the four.

Twelve new network and data icons

IT closets, switches, racks, patch panels, KVM, fiber distribution, UPS, and the rest of the head-end. Drop them in the same picker as cameras and readers; they roll up into the BOM the same way.

Project pages got tabs and a sticky header

Plan, Docs and notes, BOM, and Team are now separate tabs with a URL you can share. The project name and tab bar stay visible as you scroll. Generated BOM PDFs live in their own BOM History view, separate from your uploaded reference docs, so the Documents area stays clean.

Roster names everywhere

The dashboard and project pages now show your team's roster names instead of email addresses for who edited what and who last touched a plan.

Notes can drop their punch list number

Auto-numbered text notes now have a # toggle in the contextual toolbar. Off clears the number (and the circle behind it) so label-style notes (door tags, room names) don't get a stray badge they didn't want. On reassigns the next available integer.

Text notes default to a solid border

New notes used to land as bare white blocks. Now they get a solid border by default so they read against the floor plan. If you switch to cloud or dashed, your choice sticks for the next note you place (last used style remembered per user).

Take Picture button uses iPad's camera directly

Tapping Take Picture on iPad now opens the camera directly instead of routing through the system file picker. Drag and drop floor plan uploads also work on desktop, and WebP image uploads are accepted alongside PDF, JPG, and PNG.

Floor plan activity reports the right edits

Activity log was reporting too many edits per save because JSON key order kept shifting between client and server. Switched to canonical (sorted-key) JSON for the diff so the activity feed reflects only what actually changed.

Dashboard table view: whole row is clickable

Switching the projects list to row layout used to leave only the project-name cell clickable. The full row now opens the project. Hovering changes the cursor so it's obvious.

Wire run midpoint no longer spawns extra waypoints

An hour after the first deploy we caught a closure bug where dragging a wire run midpoint added a fresh waypoint every animation frame, producing 10+ extra bends in a single drag. Fixed the same afternoon. Also re-ordered handles so clicking a vertex never accidentally hits an adjacent midpoint.

Editor sync no longer steals your selection mid-edit

A tester reported that icons kept deselecting and the toolbar said 'updated from another device' while editing on a single computer. The cross-device sync was treating your own save as a remote change because it was anchored on your computer's clock instead of the server's. Switched to server time. Editor now behaves whether you're on one device or jumping between iPad and laptop.

Phone error auto-recovery for stale chunks

After we ship a new version, anyone with an old tab open can hit a chunk-load error when their browser tries to fetch a file that no longer exists on the server. The editor already had a self-heal for this, but it was missing the wording that the newer browser runtime uses. Now any stale-chunk error triggers a one-time silent reload and you land on fresh code instead of a stuck error overlay.

Email deliverability: DMARC + sender reputation work

Tested fieldmarkup.com against the major spam filters and scored 10/10 on mail-tester after publishing a proper DMARC record and tuning the sending stack. Should mean fewer invites and updates landing in spam, especially for testers on Outlook / Microsoft 365.

Internal: admin reply, render-error capture, ops alerts

Added a Reply button on /admin/feedback so I can respond to your feedback in one click instead of switching apps. Added server-side error capture on /admin/testers so the next crash leaves me an actionable stack trace instead of a redacted production error. Fixed an env-var allowlist bug that was preventing my ops failure alerts from firing.

Currency support for non-US users

Pick your currency in Business settings: USD, EUR, GBP, CAD, AUD, NZD, PLN, HUF, TRY, or ZAR. The symbol and tax label (VAT, GST, Sales tax) now flow through your BOM, project totals, and customer PDFs. Defaults to USD + Sales tax if you don't change it.

Total labor hours and margin split on BOM

Project totals now show a Total labor hours row (sum of every device + line item) and break your margin into Margin on materials and Margin on labor. Shows on the dashboard BOM and the internal-mode customer PDF. Customer-facing PDFs stay clean (margin still baked into unit prices).

Large logo uploads now work

Some testers couldn't upload high-resolution logos (phone photos, AI-generated PNGs, raw vendor files). The browser now resizes and compresses your logo before uploading, with transparency preserved when possible. Anything from a tiny SVG export to a 6000-pixel raw PNG now lands cleanly.

Clearer error messages on logo upload

If a logo upload fails, you now see a specific reason (file too big, wrong format, image couldn't be decoded) instead of a generic server error.

Internal: admin tooling for tester support

Notification bell with per-section counts (pending waitlist, new feedback, unresolved errors), email next to user IDs, test-account filtering on engagement metrics, demo-clone exclusion from pipeline counts, compose-broadcast with saved templates, and CAN-SPAM-compliant unsubscribe. Plus feedback alerts and server-side error capture so issues surface fast.

Try the demo without signing up

A new Try the demo button on the landing page opens the real editor with a marked-up commercial floor plan already loaded. Pan, zoom, place devices, run Quick Count, change status, try the drawer. Nothing persists; refresh resets. Lets people poke the tools before committing to a waitlist signup.

Install as an app, prompted on the dashboard

A small Install app pill sits in the top-right corner of the dashboard. Click it for separate Android (Chrome) and iPhone (Share to Home Screen) instructions. On a phone or tablet, you can install FieldMarkup like a native app, get a home-screen icon, and have it work offline in the field.

Marketing copy rewritten in the operator's voice

Trust page, Features page, Hero, Pricing, Waitlist, Contact, and FAQ all got a voice pass. Em dashes gone. Industry-deck language stripped. Sentences that read like a marketing committee wrote them, rewritten by a tech.

Founding-member price made obvious

Pro tier now shows the founding $19/mo with the regular $24.99 struck through next to it, plus a Locked for life pill. The offer was buried in small print before.

Mobile landing page now shows the editor

The marked-up floor plan screenshot is now visible on phone visits to fieldmarkup.com. Was hidden behind a desktop-only style. Phone visitors now see the product proof above the fold.

Comparison table works on phones

The FieldMarkup vs Bluebeam vs Paper table used to force a horizontal scroll on every phone. Now stacks as cards on small screens; table stays on desktop.

Email outreach cleaned up

Waitlist confirmation, invite, and the 3-email new-user drip all got an em-dash and tone pass. Reads like a note from a person, not a template.

Internal: admin page editor, copy editor, voice audit, command center

Four new admin tools that let me edit marketing copy with a rich text toolbar, run a copy audit row-by-row, and track the launch punch list across devices. These are admin-only; not visible to testers, but they let me iterate on the site without redeploying for every wording change.

Internal: signup notifications + delete-user button

I now get emailed when someone joins the waitlist or signs up for the first time. New admin Delete button on the users page wipes a user's account, projects, photos, and storage in one action (used to be soft-revoke only).

Project-level offline (auto-cache on view)

Any project you open online is now automatically cached for 7 days. Walk into a basement, lose signal, keep working on whatever you opened before you lost service. You no longer have to remember to tap Save Offline first. The Save Offline button still exists for projects you want to keep on your device permanently.

Connection status banner

When the connection drops, a bottom-of-screen banner appears explaining exactly what works (open blueprints, mark them up, edits queue locally) and what does not (photo upload, opening a project that was never cached). When service returns, a green Back online pill replaces it for a few seconds.

Admin: send a test digest from /admin/health

A button on the admin health page sends the daily error digest immediately, with a force flag that skips the empty-day suppression. The result reports back exactly why the email did or did not send (no recipient configured, Resend rejected, ok). No more guessing whether the pipeline is broken or just had nothing to report.

Cleaner timestamps on /admin/health

The health dashboard now renders timestamps as MM/DD/YY h:mmAM/PM CT instead of the ISO 8601 raw format. Reads at a glance.

FOV opacity slider, satellite-aware

Each camera's FOV cones now have an opacity slider in the per-icon toolbar. When you upload an image, we ask whether it's a satellite or aerial screenshot. Satellite plans default to darker cones so they read over busy aerial imagery; regular floorplans stay lighter. The editor remembers your preferred opacity for each substrate type.

Exported PDF matches the editor

The FOV opacity you set in the editor now applies to the exported PDF, and the amber cross-coverage tint that shows where two camera cones overlap now renders in the export as well. Your customer sees what you see.

FieldMarkup wordmark on every exported page

Every page of an export, the blueprint and the device schedule and the punch list, now carries the FieldMarkup wordmark in the corner. Blueprint pages tuck it behind your markup so cones and icons stay on top.

Cleaner device drawer

The right-side Devices drawer now leads with the name you gave a device (for example, 'C1 - Driveway') instead of the icon style. The auto-numbered ID rides on the primary line; the device type sits below as a subtitle. Project member rosters now show real names and emails instead of raw account identifiers.

Default tool is select

Opening the editor now lands you in select mode by default instead of pen, so you can navigate and inspect devices without dropping accidental ink marks. Same default on desktop and iPad.

Punch list appendix matches the device schedule

The Notes / Punch List page in the export is now landscape, matching the device schedule orientation for a consistent deliverable across appendix pages.

Operator alerting for production issues

Internal: we now get emailed the moment a customer hits a crash, a failed upload/export, or a service outage, so we can fix it before you ping us. A daily summary email at 10am ET runs alongside.

Security and reliability hardening

Full security audit done. Tightened access checks, patched dependency CVEs, and rate-limited the public endpoints.

FAQ and Contact pages, plus a Learn menu

Added an FAQ page and a Contact form, and grouped the Blog, FAQ, Learning center, and Changelog under a new Learn menu in the header so they're easier to find.

Text notes default to orange

New text boxes default to orange again instead of picking up the color of the last device you placed. You can still recolor any note from its toolbar.

Readable text notes while you type

Text notes now show a white background as you type, so they stay readable even over a busy floorplan.

Redesigned page thumbnails

The editor's page thumbnail strip has a clearer show/hide control and a relabeled snap-to-angle button, so it's easier to find and tuck away on iPad.

Grouped structure tools

Wall, door, window, and overhead-door tools are now grouped into a single menu, freeing up toolbar space so it fits better on tablets.

More reliable PDF export

Exporting a flattened PDF now opens reliably in a new tab across Chrome, Safari, and iPad.

Safer spreadsheet exports

Device schedule and bill-of-materials exports are now hardened so a device name can't be misread as a spreadsheet formula.

Critical security update

Patched a framework vulnerability that could have allowed unauthenticated access to protected routes. All five apps in the platform updated.

Hardened data protection

Trashed projects can no longer be edited or viewed through share links. Added file-content verification on photo uploads and stricter browser security headers.

Accessibility overhaul

Added skip-to-content links, focus traps in modals, screen-reader labels on sort and search controls, and fixed heading hierarchy for assistive technology.

Mobile navigation on marketing site

The marketing site now has a hamburger menu on phones and small tablets so all pages are reachable on any screen size.

Blank canvas size picker

When starting a blank canvas project you can now choose Tabloid, Letter, or custom dimensions in landscape or portrait orientation.

Faster project cloning and loading states

Project cloning and duplication run up to 10x faster. Dashboard and project pages now show skeleton loaders instead of blank screens while loading.

Export and upload errors now tracked

PDF export failures are now logged to the admin health dashboard alongside upload and save failures for faster troubleshooting.

Storage cleanup on logo removal

Removing a business logo now properly deletes the image file from cloud storage instead of leaving it orphaned.

Help docs site

Added a 10-page help center with sidebar navigation covering getting started, uploading plans, placing devices, exporting, and more.

Admin universal project access

Platform admins can now view and open any user's projects and editor for support and troubleshooting.

Role-gated project page with V2 previews

Project details page now respects your role (owner vs team member). Upcoming V2 features are shown as teasers so you know what's coming.

Team members see the right dashboard

Team members no longer see owner-only KPI cards or the New Project button on the dashboard.

Status dropdown respects project role

Status dropdowns and tour content now adjust based on whether you're an owner or team member on that project.

Re-invite revoked or declined users

You can now re-send invites to users who previously declined or were revoked from the waitlist.

Sign-in invitation link fixed

Invitation links from emails now correctly route through sign-in to the right project.

Sign-out button moved to header

Sign-out is now in the top navigation bar so all users can log out regardless of their role.

Large file uploads now work reliably

Blueprint uploads larger than ~4.5 MB now upload directly to cloud storage, bypassing the previous server size limit.

Click-placed text boxes wrap correctly

Text boxes placed by clicking (instead of dragging) now wrap to the correct width when you finish typing.

New users get one demo project

Fixed a bug where new accounts sometimes received two duplicate demo projects on first sign-in.

Redesigned marketing landing page

New landing page with a competitor comparison table, testimonial section, and founding-member pricing callout.

V2 feature teasers with explainer popups

Upcoming features like calibration, cable runs, and DORI analysis now appear as preview cards with brief explanations of what's coming.

Proposal preview in admin

Admins can now preview the sales proposal view directly from the admin operations grid.

Auto cache-clear on stale-chunk crashes

If the app detects a stale-code crash after an update, it automatically clears its cache and reloads instead of showing an error screen.

Team members no longer bounce to waitlist

Invited team members can now access the dashboard directly without being redirected to the waitlist page.

Waitlist emails land in inbox

Waitlist confirmation emails now use inline links instead of styled buttons to improve deliverability.

Phone viewer pinch-zoom locked to viewport

The mobile floorplan viewer no longer scales the entire page when you pinch-zoom on the device sheet.

Business profile saves correctly

Business profile updates now only change the fields you edited, preventing accidental overwrites.

Editor-only invites at launch

Removed the unenforced viewer invite role. All invited users are editors until role controls are fully built.

Upload and save failure tracking

Blueprint upload failures and markup save errors are now tracked on the admin health dashboard for faster troubleshooting.

Product tour and auth branding

New unified product tour walks you through the dashboard, project page, and editor on first use. Sign-in screens now carry FieldMarkup branding.

Revoke invited users from admin

Admins can now revoke access for invited users directly from the admin panel, with cleaner invite email formatting.

Invite email with direct link and waitlist confirmation

Invite emails now include a one-click button to accept. Users who join the waitlist receive a confirmation email.

Editable BOM model field

The model/part number column in the Bill of Materials is now directly editable inline.

Duplicate project

Owners can now duplicate an entire project (plans, markups, photos) into a new editable copy. Useful for creating templates or starting similar jobs.

SEO and sitemap

Added sitemap.xml, robots.txt, and Open Graph metadata so the site ranks and previews correctly in search engines and social shares.

Settings sign-out button

Added a sign-out option to the settings page for easier account switching.

Install photos hidden from share links

Public share links no longer expose install photos. Photos stay private and are only visible to project members.

Share link rate-limiting and cron auth hardened

Public share links are now rate-limited. Background cron jobs use constant-time token comparison to prevent timing attacks.

Database transaction support

Switched to connection pooling so multi-step database operations complete atomically instead of partially.

Blank-canvas floorplan drawing

Start a project from a blank canvas instead of a PDF. Draw walls, doors, and windows directly in the editor for simple residential layouts.

Rapid device placement (hold Z)

Hold Z to enter rapid-place mode and drop multiple devices without returning to the toolbar between each one.

Keyboard shortcut help overlay

Press ? to see a full overlay of available keyboard shortcuts while in the editor.

Device label text inside icons now renders in the correct position on rotated PDF pages.

Security hardening pass

Applied a round of security improvements including code-splitting the editor for faster initial loads.

Analytics dashboard

Admin analytics page tracks feature adoption, user funnels, trade segments, weekly retention cohorts, and marketing attribution. Every metric is clickable for drill-down detail.

Public share links

Generate a read-only share link for any markup. Recipients can view the plan and device layout without signing in. Enable or revoke from the editor Share button.

Welcome tour

New opt-in welcome modal on first dashboard visit launches a 9-stop guided tour anchored to the demo project. Re-launch anytime from Help.

Onboarding email drip

New users receive helpful emails on Day 0, Day 2, and Day 7 with tips for getting started. Powered by a daily cron job.

Admin audit log and activity feed

Every admin action is now logged. New audit log and activity pages show who did what and when.

Bulk user and waitlist operations

Select multiple users or waitlist entries and approve, email, or manage them in batch from the admin panel.

Soft-delete projects with trash

Project progress chips on dashboard

Dashboard project tiles now show a progress percentage chip based on device status completion within the project.

Photo and blueprint upload resize

Uploaded photos are automatically resized (1600px max, stripped of EXIF data) to save storage and speed up loading. WebP uploads are now accepted.

Health monitoring dashboard

New admin health page pings the database, file storage, and auth service. Shows a 7-day timeline and error feed.

PDF performance metrics and thumbnail strip

Editor now shows a scrollable page thumbnail strip on the left side. PDF load and render times are tracked for performance monitoring.

Demo template system

Mark any project as a demo template. New users automatically receive a read-only demo copy on first sign-in. Click 'Make my own copy' to start editing.

Admin operations index

Admin landing page now shows all 9 admin tools (Users, Waitlist, Health, Analytics, etc.) with descriptions.

Cross-device live sync

Changes made on one device appear on another within seconds. A sync indicator shows when the editor is checking for updates.

Drag-to-size status markers

Status tracking circles can now be sized by dragging when you place them, similar to drawing an ellipse.

Door group improvements

Door groups now show member devices (e.g., 'Door 1 -- Card Reader'). Click a door pin to select the whole group. Inline rename lets you label doors like 'D1 -- Main Entry'.

Multisensor FOV overlap and per-cone controls

Multisensor cameras now display all FOV cones with proper overlap. Click a specific cone to hide or show just that one.

CCTV thumbnail color corrected to teal

Blueprint thumbnail overlays for CCTV devices now use the correct teal color instead of the previous orange.

Drawer stays open on desktop after jump-to-device

Clicking a device in the drawer to jump to it on the plan no longer closes the drawer on desktop screens.

Upload UX cleaned up

Removed the unused Satellite upload option, added a Take Picture button for phone cameras, and fixed an iPad upload bug.

Tool hotkeys don't fire in text fields

Keyboard shortcuts for editor tools no longer activate while you're typing in a text box or form input.

Custom icon numbering and rename overflow

Security and performance audit (8 fixes)

Applied 7 query limits to prevent unbounded database reads and added rate limiting on client error reporting.

Storage quota upgraded to bigint

Storage tracking now supports files larger than 2 GB without integer overflow, defending the 5 GB cap.

Icon overhaul and multisensor multi-FOV

Rebuilt icon library with cleaner glyphs. Multisensor cameras now render individual FOV cones per lens. Per-project page margins are now configurable.

Resend-powered invite emails

Team invitations now send through Resend with proper formatting and deliverability. Previously invites were Clerk-only links.

Multisensor in All Devices tab

The device picker 'All' tab now includes multisensor cameras, and the tab was renamed from 'Icon' to 'All' for clarity.

Security hardening (2 critical, 3 performance)

Fixed 2 critical security issues and 3 critical performance problems found during the pre-launch audit.

Plain icons visible on placement

Icons without special glyphs now appear immediately when placed, instead of being invisible until re-selected.

PDF export text positioning fixed

In-icon label text no longer scatters to the wrong position when exporting (flattening) a marked-up PDF.

Custom hardware types

Create your own device types with a custom letter inside a circle. Useful for equipment not covered by the built-in icon library.

NAC loop tool

Draw notification appliance circuit (NAC) loops to connect fire alarm devices on your plans.

Invite-only waitlist with admin controls

Switched from open signup to an invite-only waitlist. Admins can review, approve, and invite users from the admin panel.

Project system multi-select and device overlays

Select multiple systems (CCTV, access, fire) on a project to filter devices. Blueprint thumbnails now show device location dots.

Door group v5 visual design and 3-button upload

Door groups got a cleaner visual layout. Upload modal now offers three clear options: PDF, image, or camera.

Door groups

Group access control devices (card reader, mag lock, REX, etc.) into logical door groups with a shared door icon on the plan. Evolved through multiple design iterations to the final standalone-icon layout.

Status marker circles

Place standalone status tracking circles on your plan to mark areas as complete, in-progress, or needing attention.

Device details accordion in drawer

Expand any device in the side drawer to see its full details including mount height, model, location, and notes. Rotation handle follows the icon visually.

Tabbed drawer with categorized device schedule

Side drawer now has tabs organizing devices by category. Includes a full device schedule view with detail columns.

Export badge centering

Device number badges in exported PDFs now center correctly. Fixed the root-cause math for consistent alignment across all page sizes.

FOV cones legible on busy backgrounds

Camera field-of-view cones now have better contrast against detailed or satellite-image backgrounds.

Per-icon device label prefixes

Each device type now uses its own label prefix (C for cameras, AC for access control, etc.) instead of generic numbering.

Pre-launch security audit fixes

Addressed multiple security findings from the pre-launch audit, hardening auth checks and input validation.

Start-blank canvas for residential workflow

Start a project from a blank canvas when you don't have a PDF floor plan. Ideal for simple residential jobs.

Shift-to-snap angle on shape tools

Hold Shift while drawing shapes or placing opening icons (doors, windows, overheads) to snap to 15-degree angles.

iPad snap-angle toggle

On-screen toggle button for snap-to-angle on iPad and tablets where there's no keyboard Shift key.

Icon style preview

Preview how icons will look in Default, CAD, or CAD + Letter styles before choosing your preferred rendering.

Resizable FOV cones with overlap visualization

Camera FOV cones can now be resized by dragging. When cones overlap, the coverage area is highlighted to show cross-coverage.

Contextual toolbar and style presets

The toolbar now shows context-appropriate tools based on what you're doing. Style presets let you quickly switch between common setups.

Notes appendix on export

Exported PDFs now include a notes appendix page listing all text annotations with their page locations.

Marquee multi-select with group actions

Draw a selection rectangle to select multiple devices at once. Move or delete them as a group.

Auto-renumber on delete

When you delete a device, the remaining devices automatically renumber to close the gap (e.g., C1, C2, C3 stays sequential).

Download button and blueprint rename

Download the original PDF from the project page. Rename blueprints inline. Split plans into floor-plan and document categories.

Editable notes on project page

Project notes are now editable directly on the project detail page.

FOV handle visually distinct from rotation handle

FOV width handle and rotation handle now look different so you can tell them apart at a glance.

Toolbar reorganization

Consolidated the toolbar layout for faster access to common tools. Side panel replaced with a more compact design.

Ctrl/Cmd + scroll-wheel zoom

Zoom into the plan at your cursor position using Ctrl (or Cmd on Mac) + scroll wheel.

Offline mode (experimental)

Save plans for offline viewing and editing. Changes queue up and sync when you're back online. Diagnostics page helps troubleshoot sync issues.

Hand/pan tool and punch-list numbered text boxes

New hand tool for panning without accidentally moving devices. Numbered text boxes for creating punch lists directly on the plan.

Duplicate blueprint action

Duplicate an existing blueprint within the same project to create variations without starting over.

PDF loading hang after Save Offline resolved

Fixed a bug where PDFs would show 'loading...' indefinitely after using the Save Offline feature.

Pan tool works for mouse and pen

The pan tool now responds correctly to mouse and stylus input, not just touch.

No more stray ink marks on zoom

Zooming on large PDFs no longer leaves accidental ink strokes or causes blank flashes.

Phone field-walk mode

Tap to drop icons on your phone in the field. Designed for walking a job site with your phone and placing devices as you go.

Owner / editor / viewer roles

Three project roles control who can edit, view, or manage a project. Viewers see a read-only version of the editor. (Update 2026-06-01: the viewer role was retired in favor of the public read-only share link, which is simpler to manage and never exposes install photos.)

Quick-edit notes drawer

Slide-out drawer for quickly adding or editing notes on any device. Fixed iOS keyboard dismiss behavior.

Toolbar scroll compensation

Opening or closing the toolbar no longer causes the plan view to jump or flash.

Multi-tenant project sharing

Invite team members by email to collaborate on projects. Full membership system with invite, accept, and remove flows.

Workflow modes (Install / Survey / Proposal)

Choose a workflow mode when creating a project. Each mode has its own set of device statuses tailored to that phase of work.

Device status tracking with history

Set status on any device (Planned, Installed, Tested, etc.). Every status change is logged with who changed it and when.

Status ring on devices

Devices with a status show a colored ring around their icon on the plan, making it easy to spot progress at a glance.

Notes drawer with click-to-jump

Side drawer lists all text annotations and devices with notes. Click any entry to jump to that spot on the plan.

Text box borders, fills, and manual width control

Text boxes now support colored borders, background fills, and a resize handle for setting exact widths.

Per-annotation timestamps

Every device and annotation tracks when it was placed and last updated.

Text box auto-grow and padding

Text boxes now auto-grow vertically to fit long text and have proper padding so text doesn't clip the edges.

Callouts render on top

Callout annotations now render above other elements so they're always visible.

Cloud bumps smoother in exported PDF

Cloud/callout outlines in exported PDFs now use more segments for smoother curves instead of appearing faceted.

Rotated PDF page support

Icons, shapes, text, and badges now render and export correctly on PDF pages with any rotation (0, 90, 180, or 270 degrees).

Cloud outlines, dashed rectangles, and text wrap in export

Cloud shapes, dashed rectangle outlines, text wrapping, and solid fills now all appear correctly in exported PDFs.

Security headers and ownership filters

Added security headers (nosniff, SAMEORIGIN, strict referrer). Destructive actions now double-check project ownership.

Source PDF rotation handling

All annotation types (shapes, text, badges) now account for the source PDF's built-in page rotation metadata.

Performance audit pass

Marketing pages now load from edge cache with sub-50ms response times globally. Service worker scoped to authenticated routes only, so first-time visitors load faster.

Photo attachments on devices

Attach photos to any device icon. Photos are stored in the cloud and visible both in the editor and on the project detail page.

Device auto-numbering and schedule appendix

Devices are automatically numbered by category (C1, C2, AC1, etc.). Exported PDFs include a device schedule appendix table.

Color picker

Choose custom colors for devices and annotations with a visual color picker. Blueprint list also supports grid/list toggle.

Autosave with last-saved indicator

Your work saves automatically as you go. A last-saved indicator shows the time of the most recent save. No more manual Save button.

Native share sheet on export

After exporting a PDF, use your device's native share sheet to send it via email, messaging, or any other app.

Icon text labels and Electric Strike icon

Icons can now display text inside them. Added a new Electric Strike (ES) icon for access control.

Single-finger tap to select on touch devices

On iPad and phones, a single tap selects a device while dragging still pans the view. No more accidental moves.

Last-saved time on blueprint cards

Blueprint cards on the project page now show when each plan was last saved.

Entire blueprint card is clickable

Click anywhere on a blueprint card or row to open it, not just the title.

iPad pan and zoom restored

Fixed a persistent bug where panning on iPad stopped working. Root cause was a viewport meta tag conflict.

Ink and icon positioning corrected in export

Freehand ink strokes and device icons now export to the correct positions in flattened PDFs.

Annotations persist on photo attach/detach

Adding or removing a photo from a device no longer resets other annotation changes you've made.

Export PDF triggers browser download

Clicking Export PDF now properly triggers a file download instead of just generating the file silently.

Icon rotation corrected

Icons now rotate around their center point instead of their corner, and FOV cones point the right direction.

FieldMarkup launch

Initial release of FieldMarkup: a PDF markup tool for low-voltage and security trades. Upload floor plans, place trade-specific device icons with FOV cones, and export annotated PDFs.

Full editor with toolbar and icon library

Markup editor with pen/shape tools, eraser, device icon picker (cameras, access control, intrusion, fire, networking), and thumbnail dashboard.

Project management and cloud storage

Create projects, upload blueprints (PDF or image), manage plans from a dashboard. All files stored securely in the cloud.
