━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ 📋 THREE CUSTOM COLUMNS ON YOUR GUEST LIST ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ • Name up to three extra columns yourself. Printer code, hotel, invitation type — whatever your guest list needs to carry. Guest List → Columns → Hidden Columns → Custom Column 1, 2, or 3 Click the pencil to give the column a name, then click + to show it. • Once named, it works like any other guest-list column. Your custom columns appear in: • Guest table • Add/Edit Household • Export CSV • Print view • Import CSV If an imported spreadsheet has a column with the same name, VowProof matches it automatically. • Custom columns work in the Client Portal too. If you choose to show the column, your couple can: • See it in their guest table • Fill it in when adding a guest • Edit it later • Get it in their Download Template spreadsheet • Good to know: • A custom column without a name stays hidden everywhere. • Column names are studio-wide, just like your other guest-list column names. • Each household can have one value per custom column, up to 200 characters. ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ 📝 PROPOSALS: SELECTION REVISIONS AFTER SENDING ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ • Turn on Selection Revisions for a proposal you've already sent. Selection Revisions let your client change their selections while reviewing proofs and let you add option groups after signing. Previously, this had to be enabled before the proposal was sent. Now, on a signed proposal's Work Order, Owners and Admins will see: Turn On Selection Revisions next to the disabled Add Post-Signing Group button. Project → Work Orders → Work Order • The setting applies only to that proposal. VowProof records who enabled it. Once Selection Revisions are turned on for a proposal, they cannot be turned off again. • New options are priced against what the client actually signed for. If the original proposal included a discount, VowProof will not apply that discount a second time when the client adds their first new option. • Add-on invoices now list only the add-on. A post-signing selection could previously create an invoice with the correct amount but list every original order item plus the add-on twice. That's fixed. No affected invoice had reached a client. ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ 📅 A MEETINGS CARD ON THE PROJECT PAGE ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ • See every consultation booked with a client. The project's Overview tab now has a Meetings card beside Collaborators. You'll see: • Upcoming meetings first • Date and time • Video meeting Join link • Past meetings underneath • Schedule a meeting directly from the project. Click Schedule Meeting and the booking window opens with that client already selected. • The Meetings card is for your team only. Your client and their planner do not see it. ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ 🎨 LIBRARY IMAGES IN MOOD BOARD TEMPLATES ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ • Add images from your Library to a Mood Board template. Mood Boards → Open a Template → Add Element → Image → From Library It's the same Library picker you already use on a client's Mood Board. When you apply the template, the image is copied onto that client's board automatically. ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ ✉️ EMAIL & INBOX ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ • The Unread badge on Linked Emails finally clears. Replies sent to your studio's VowProof Mail address were being counted as unread, but nothing ever marked them as read. Now, opening the conversation in your Inbox clears the Unread badge for the entire studio. Want to come back to it? Use the new: Mark as Unread button in the conversation header. • Connected mailboxes keep their own read status. Conversations from Gmail or Microsoft 365 follow the read/unread status of your connected mailbox. VowProof does not change anything inside your Gmail or Microsoft mailbox. • Compose now tells you when VowProof Mail was used. If you don't have a mailbox connected — or your connection needs attention — emails from a project's Compose button still go out. You'll now see: Sent via VowProof Mail along with the reason. Email Activity in your Inbox shows it too. • Gmail and Microsoft 365 connections now check permissions immediately. If a permission VowProof needs is unchecked during the connection process, the connection stops and tells you exactly which permission needs to remain enabled. Previously, the connection could appear successful and fail only when you tried to send an email. Settings → Integrations • Send Email and Share Proof now use the correct studio's templates. If you belong to more than one studio, these windows now always use the templates belonging to the project's studio. ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ 💳 PAYMENTS ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ • See your Stripe payouts in one click. A new View Payouts in Stripe link takes you directly to your Stripe payout information. You'll also see a short explanation of when money reaches your bank. Client payments go directly into your Stripe account. VowProof never holds the money. Stripe sends it to your bank according to your Stripe account's payout schedule. Find it under: Settings → Integrations → Payment Processing or: Payments • Tips no longer affect a payment plan's Balance. On an invoice with a payment plan and a recorded tip, the Balance could change by the tip amount depending on which screen saved the invoice. Tips are gratuities shown below the invoice total. They are never part of what your client is asked to pay. That's now handled consistently everywhere. No live invoice was affected. • Payment receipts now include your business phone number. Set your number under: Settings → Business ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ ⚙️ WORKFLOWS ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ • Workflow templates now warn you about broken steps. If a workflow step depends on something that's been disabled or deleted, you'll see an amber warning telling you exactly what's missing. This includes steps that: • Send a contract • Send a form • Move a Work Order to a stage The workflow header also shows how many steps need attention. Templates → Workflows • A workflow with a broken step cannot be turned on. Fix the missing piece first so the workflow can't fail halfway through a client's project. Less serious warnings remain advice only. For example, if a step waits for a form that the workflow itself never sends, VowProof warns you but still lets you decide what to do. • Reminder automations now show how often they ran. Proof Reminder and Payment Reminder rules on the Workflows page now show their actual usage. For example: 3× Triggered ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ 🔧 SMALLER FIXES ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ • Consultation cancellation confirmations now stay on screen. The confirmation previously disappeared a moment after the client cancelled. Starter Plan cancellation pages also now show: Powered by VowProof just like other client-facing pages. • Store add-ons that couldn't start during the original connection now retry automatically. If an add-on has been waiting for more than a week, VowProof tries the setup again. Billing begins only when the retry succeeds. Nothing is backdated. If the store never received its add-on free trial, the trial begins when the connection succeeds. • The Help Guide has caught up. Eight articles were added or updated for this release, including: • Where do I see the meetings booked with a client? • Why can't I turn my workflow on? ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ ❤️ THANK YOU ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ Most of this week's improvements came directly from your requests and feedback. Several of the fixes also came from our own audits and release checks before anyone had to report them — which is exactly how we like to find them. Keep the ideas and reports coming.
