Comment on photos, tag your crew, punch from any photo

Released 2026-09-01

Photo comments with @mentions that notify the person tagged, make a punch item straight from a gallery photo, a bigger annotate view, and background photo uploads.

Comments and @mentions on photos

Open any photo in the gallery and tap the chat bubble — comments slide up right there. Type @ to tag anyone on the project; they get a notification on their phone and by email so they know to look.

How to use it: Photos → tap a photo → tap the chat bubble → @ their name.

Make a punch item from any photo

See a problem in a photo someone already took? Open it and tap "Punch item" — it carries the photo into a new punch item with the project already picked.

Photo notes open big now

On the review screen before uploading, tap any thumbnail next to a note line — the photo opens full size where you can circle what matters and type the note on the same screen.

Photos upload in the background

Photos now start uploading the moment you pick them, while you're still typing notes. By the time you hit submit, most of the work is already done — batches land noticeably faster.
