October 25, 2026 — Automations pick members, more Arabic

  • Readable automation summaries: the builder and every automation card read like Record updated · Status → Assign user → Reviewer.

October 25, 2026 — More of the User Guide

October 25, 2026 — Images in documents and storage tools

  • Images inside documents: paste a screenshot, drag and drop images, or use the Insert image button. Images pasted from Word, Excel or Outlook are uploaded with the text kept.

  • User Guide: this guide is now available in English and Arabic.

October 24, 2026 — File attachments and storage per plan

  • Files field: attach documents, images and PDFs to records. Images and PDFs open in a preview; uploads go straight to secure private storage.

October 23, 2026 — Signatures in PDF templates

  • Signature element in the Page Designer: add a signature image with a signing line and caption.
  • Dropdowns in the last rows of a table now open upward so they are never cut off.

October 20–21, 2026 — Better PDFs and relations

  • Print view: turn the current view into one PDF table with totals per column (paid plans).
  • Default PDF template per database, and regenerate a saved PDF with another template.
  • Relation picker searches every record of the linked database, not only the newest ones.
  • Tables load all records, so filters, search, select-all and bulk PDF always work on the complete database.

October 19, 2026 — Page Designer

  • PDF templates: design your own layouts for quotes, invoices and reports with headings, fields, tables of linked records, logos, QR codes, Hijri dates and Arabic-Indic digits.
  • Bulk PDF for selected records, a Generate PDF button field, and a Generate document automation that can save the PDF to the record or email it.
