Task Count on Projects Dashboard Displays Total of all Statuses (April 2021)
Previously, the Projects Dashboard listed the Task count of only open Tasks for each Project, but not tasks in other statuses. Thanks to customer feedback that this was confusing, we've updated this view so the total Task counts listed by Project are the exact same as the totals in the "All Tasks" filter inside the project sidebar, i.e. all Tasks in all Statuses. We're hoping this small but logical update will help your admins have a better understanding of each Projects' overall activity at a glance from the Projects Dashboard page.

Plans
Optimized Middle Highlighter Size for Markups (April 2021)
We received a lot of feedback from customers about our medium highlighter markup size being too large to create detailed markups but too small to quickly create filled-in spaces. So we adjusted the middle highlighter size from a 24 point to a 12 point width. The large and small highlighter sizes will remain the same, giving you a more ideal spectrum of fine tip to broad highlight, with the perfect average in the middle, so you can get even more out of our markup tools on the fly!

Tasks
Nested Locations (May 2021)
Previously, if you wanted to add area context to your Tasks, you could do so with just one layer of locations. Now, with the exciting release of Nested Locations, you can create a hierarchal tree of up to 5 levels of "locations within locations" and assign tasks, accordingly, to this more granular representation of the layout of your actual construction project sites. For example: West Area > Level 1 > Building 2 > Floor 3 > Room 4.
The next time you're punching out a hotel building, a complex residential structure, or a mega-stadium venue, you can add (or remove) a granular location to a Task in a matter of seconds. We also added in Filtering functionality so that you can easily find relevant Tasks and create detailed reports based on these more specific areas.

Files
File Size Limit Increased to 200 MB (April 2021)
Our Files module was designed to help you take your documents and files out into the field with you, whether online or offline, in an always-accessible manner. Last Fall, we increased our File Upload limit from 25MB to 50MB and the feedback was encouraging. But we wanted to make room for even more Product Data documents or Approved Submittal PDF's that your team has, so we increased the upload limit once again, to 200 MB per file!
